There are two significant differences between a transmission service (routine maintenance) and a flush (also called a fluid exchange). The first is during a service, approximately 40-45% (4 to 6 quarts) of the transmission’s fluid is changed and a flush changes closer to 100%. The second difference is a “pan drop service” allows a tech to view any debris that may have worn off the internal parts of the transmission and with the flush procedure, the pan is not removed. The fluid is flushed by disconnecting the transmission’s cooling lines at the radiator. A third difference is that the flush does not allow for the filter to be replaced.
