Hydraulic fluid change indicating device for automatic transmission

摘要

A hydraulic fluid change indicating device for an automatic transmission includes a first deterioration rate calculating unit; a deterioration acceleration coefficient calculating unit; and a thermal hydraulic fluid deterioration calculating unit for calculating a thermal hydraulic fluid deterioration according to the first deterioration rate and the deterioration acceleration coefficient. The device further includes a second deterioration rate calculating unit according to an engine speed, input shaft speed, and output shaft speed; a mechanical hydraulic fluid deterioration calculating unit for calculating a mechanical fluid deterioration according to the second deterioration rate; and a determining unit for determining whether or not the thermal hydraulic fluid deterioration or the mechanical hydraulic fluid deterioration is greater than a predetermined hydraulic fluid change threshold.
