Protecting the gearbox in winter
1- Service
The first and most important thing you can do for your car is to have the transmission serviced by professional mechanics. The fact is that most of the major problems that occur in an automatic transmission are initially a small problem that is ignored by car owners until it worsens and becomes a serious problem. Checking the gearbox costs little, and fixing these small problems before the winter starts can prevent very serious and expensive problems.
2- Preparing for the cold season
Another key strategy to prepare for the winter season is heat storage.
Car maintenance in the parking lot and garage
Using a car cover
3- warming up the car
Warm up your car for 5 to 8 minutes before driving. Note: Do not put the car in "P" parking mode for more than 10 minutes.
4- Changing the gearbox oil
Use the best and newest transmission fluid. Talk to your mechanic about getting a new fluid changed, even if it costs more, delegate that cost because it will prevent damage to your car. A little money in the short term can mean a lot less money in the long run. .
5- Calm driving
In the harsh winter environment, the best thing for your automatic transmission is to have a smooth and uniform operation. Avoid any sudden movements. The same thing should be done about the gas pedal and the brake. Be gentle.
