Regularly checking your transmission fluid is essential for keeping your vehicle in top condition. To check it yourself, locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the engine, and pull it out while the engine is warm and running. Wipe it clean, reinsert it, and pull it out again to inspect the fluid. Healthy fluid should be bright red or pink and free of any burnt smells. If you notice dark fluid, low levels, or difficulty shifting gears, it’s time for a change.

If the dipstick or seals are damaged, it’s crucial to replace them with genuine Fiat parts to avoid further issues. Fiat Direct Parts offers everything you need, and if you can’t find a specific part, simply fill out our contact form, and we’ll help you find what you’re after.
