Good question! Lay down some old cardboard under the vehicle as a makeshift drip pan. Also, make sure to have paper towels handy for quick clean-ups.

Right! Fluid leaks can lead to even bigger problems if not addressed!
To troubleshoot slipping gears, start by checking the ATF level. If it’s low, top it off, but also consider a fluid change if it’s old or contaminated.
Good tip! Flushing the transmission can sometimes resolve slipping gears too. Just be careful not to use any additives that might harm your transmission!

How often should we change AW-1 ATF? Is it different for every vehicle? I’ve heard conflicting advice about this!
I believe it varies by manufacturer, but a good rule of thumb is every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. It’s all about your driving habits as well!
Wait, is there really a secret handshake to figure out the exact mileage? Because I’ve just been guessing based on my ‘vibe.’ Ha!
Lol! If only it were that easy! Definitely stick to your manual for the most accurate info.
