Consistent, periodic transmission oil changes are a vital part of maintaining vehicles with automatic transmissions. Poorly executed oil changes can lead to malfunctions, which in turn may cause irreversible damage. By investing in a MAHLE FluidPRO® machine, workshops can expand their service offering, stand out from the competition, and increase customer loyalty – all while helping to prevent costly automatic transmission repairs.
In just a 5–10 minute cycle, the MAHLE FluidPRO® performs a fully automated dynamic oil change, replacing up to 100% of the transmission oil. In contrast, a traditional static oil change – simply opening the sump and letting gravity take its course – replaces only 30–50% of the old fluid, resulting in a mix of fresh and aged oil during the refill.
The FluidPRO® is compatible with over 90% of all commercially available automatic transmissions thanks to a variety of adapter sets, making it one of the most versatile pieces of service equipment available. An internal vehicle database, kept up to date via Wi-Fi connectivity, ensures the MAHLE FluidPRO® remains future-ready for years to come.
A 7” touch-screen LCD display provides step-by-step guidance to the mechanic, while automatic detection of oil flow direction safeguards the system and prevents costly mistakes. This makes the oil change process foolproof, shortens training time, and reduces the risk of errors. A dedicated mobile app also enables mechanics to monitor the oil change process directly from their smartphone.
With an interchangeable tank system, workshops can switch between oil types quickly, while the unit’s internal washing process ensures complete cleanliness and zero cross-contamination.
Andy Lees, Head of Western Europe MAHLE Lifecycle and Mobility, said: “Automatic transmissions have seen a surge in popularity among car manufacturers over recent years. Over the last five years, production of automatic vehicles has grown by 40%. The MAHLE FluidPRO® provides a streamlined transmission oil change solution that offers full automation.”
MAHLE’s commitment to innovation and quality ensures workshops benefit from expert support, technical training, and aftersales service to maximise the long-term value of their investment. Combined with MAHLE’s transmission filter range, the FluidPRO® creates the ideal package for complete automatic transmission servicing.
