How often should you change your racing transmission fluid?
You should inspect your transmission fluid regularly and change it immediately if it looks darker than usual or smells bad. Typically, transmission fluid can last anywhere from six races to an entire season.
Note:Conventional transmission fluid should be changed more often than synthetic as it breaks down faster in extreme conditions.
Is there a difference between conventional and synthetic racing transmission fluid?
Yes, there is a difference between conventional and synthetic racing transmission fluids. Conventional racing transmission fluid is made in mineral-based oil that is refined from petroleum. Synthetic transmission fluid starts out with a mineral base, but is highly refined, broken down, and reconfigured for purity. Synthetic transmission fluid does not break down as fast when running at high temperatures, making it ideal for long days on the track.
Can you mix synthetic and conventional transmission fluid?
Yes, you can mix conventional, mineral-based transmission fluid with a synthetic version.
