Automatic transmission: how to prevent failures and overheating<\/b><\/h4>

The automatic transmission is a sophisticated component that requires specific care. Increasingly, vehicles show issues such as gear shifting difficulties, slipping, or performance drops\u2014symptoms that, if neglected, can lead to complete system failure.<\/p>

Why does an automatic transmission get damaged?<\/b><\/h4>

The main causes of malfunction are often linked to poor maintenance or the use of unsuitable lubricants. These factors lead to: <\/span><\/p>

  • Abnormal friction: causing excessive temperature increase.<\/li>
  • Metallic residues and sludge: debris that clogs oil passages, compromising smooth gear shifting.<\/li><\/ul>

    The professional solution: cleaning and protection<\/b><\/h4>

    To restore proper functionality, it is not enough to replace the oil; a complete treatment is required that works in two phases:<\/span><\/p>

      1. Deep cleaning: we use specific automatic transmission cleaners that remove impurities without damaging seals and delicate elastomer components.<\/li>
      2. Enhanced lubrication: once the system is cleaned, a new specific lubricant is introduced, enriched with additives that increase the protection of mechanical components and help stabilize operating temperature.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>


        When should maintenance be performed?<\/b><\/h4>

        To ensure maximum longevity of your automatic transmission and prevent sudden failures, we recommend a cleaning treatment and lubricant replacement:<\/span><\/p>

        • Every 60,000\u201380,000 km (or every 4\u20135 years) for standard vehicle use.<\/li>
        • Every 40,000 km in case of intensive use, towing loads, or predominantly city driving. <\/li><\/ul>

          The Sintoflon protocol: guaranteed reliability<\/b><\/h4>

          Based on our experience and positive customer feedback, we recommend a combined treatment using Sintoflon products, a leading brand in the industry:<\/p>

          • SINTOFLON FLUSHMATIC: added before the oil change, it performs a complete and safe system flush, removing all traces of contamination.<\/li>
          • SINTOFLON LUBEMATIC: added to the new lubricant, it enhances protection performance, helps prevent premature oil degradation, and keeps operating temperatures under control.<\/li><\/ul>

            Avoid costly repairs: choose high-quality preventive maintenance.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
