Preventing transmission fluid leaks involves regular care, especially under Pakistan’s harsh driving conditions:

Regular Fluid Checks and Changes: Check transmission fluid level every few thousand kilometers and replace it as recommended in the owner’s manual o r sooner if conditions are severe.

Use Genuine Fluids: Always use manufacturer-approved transmission fluids to ensure proper lubrication and seal compatibility.

Inspect Seals and Hoses: Regularly check seals, gaskets, and cooler lines for wear o r damage.

Avoid Overheating: Minimize heavy traffic idling and use transmission coolers if necessary.

Professional Service: Schedule regular transmission system inspections with experienced Mercedes-Benz mechanics who understand local road stress and climate impacts.

Drive Smoothly: Avoid aggressive driving that stresses the transmission system.

By following these tips, you can reduce the risk of leaks and prolong the life of your transmission.
