  • just out of curiosity: Why do you want to change the gear box oil? I never did that in my hole life with any car.

    i called the dealer and its 15€/1l - so ill buy 3pcs there as its not some money...

  • It's anytime a good idea changing the fluids after years.

    Just take a look on the drained liquid and compare with the new filling.

    Don't forget the coolant and, more important, take care of the braking system !

    Material abrasion of course, as with all moving mechanical components.

    The tiny shavings / particles can contaminate the oil and that will grind anywhere.


    For example, if you change gears incorrectly and the transmission yells for help.😂

  • Many people said that they had never done that in their whole life with any car.

    But I surely tell you that you can change it after one year. But Just take a look at the drained liquid & compare it with the new filling.
