Answer: 1. Can C2 and C4 transmission fluids be safely mixed in a transmission without causing damage to the seals? - It is generally recommended to avoid mixing different types of transmission fluids, as they are formulated with specific additives and properties that may not be compatible. Mixing C2 and C4 transmission fluids could potentially lead to issues such as seal damage.
Answer: - Substituting C4 transmission fluid for C2 fluid may not provide the optimal lubrication and protection for the transmission components. This could lead to increased wear and potential damage to the transmission over time.
Answer: - It is best to use the type of transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer to ensure proper functioning and longevity of the transmission. If you only need to top off the fluid, it is recommended to use the same type and grade of transmission fluid that is already in the system.
Answer: - To determine compatibility, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for specific recommendations regarding the type of transmission fluid suitable for your transmission. Using the correct fluid type is crucial to avoid potential damage and ensure optimal performance.
