When do you change transmission fluid on a gm car?

General Motors (GM) recommends changing the transmission fluid in your vehicle at the following intervals:

* For vehicles with a 4-speed automatic transmission: Every 50,000 miles or every 5 years, whichever comes first.

* For vehicles with a 6-speed or 8-speed automatic transmission: Every 100,000 miles or every 10 years, whichever comes first.

* For vehicles with a manual transmission: Every 30,000 miles or every 3 years, whichever comes first.

Please note that these are just general guidelines. The actual transmission fluid change interval for your vehicle may vary depending on driving conditions and other factors.

If you are unsure of when to change the transmission fluid in your GM car, you can always consult with a qualified mechanic.

Here are some signs that your transmission fluid may need to be changed:

* The transmission shifts roughly or slips.

* The transmission fluid is dark or dirty.

* The transmission fluid has a burnt smell.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to have the transmission fluid checked and changed as soon as possible.
