Transmission Fluid Exchange
Lex Brodie's Fast Lube performs transmission fluid exchanges at two Big Island locations in Kailua-Kona and Hilo. Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the moving parts inside your transmission. When fluid becomes dirty or contaminated with debris, it can no longer provide adequate lubrication, leading to rough shifting, power loss, and potential transmission failure. Lex Brodie's Fast Lube removes the old contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh transmission fluid. Fluid should be changed according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended interval. No appointment required.

Transmission Fluid Exchange FAQs
How do I know if my transmission fluid needs to be changed?
Common signs include rough or delayed shifting, transmission slipping during acceleration, unusual noises when shifting, and transmission fluid that appears dark, cloudy, or smells burnt. You can also check your vehicle's recommended interval in the owner's manual - most manufacturers recommend a transmission fluid exchange every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
What happens if I don't change my transmission fluid?
Old, contaminated transmission fluid loses its ability to lubricate and cool the transmission's internal components. Over time this can cause rough shifting, power loss, overheating, and eventually transmission failure - one of the most expensive vehicle repairs. Regular fluid exchanges at the manufacturer's recommended interval help prevent these issues.
