Advanced Gearbox oil change.

Your gear oil is constantly working to reduce the stresses placed on your gearbox, keeping it operating at its peak. But like most lubricants, it may eventually need to be changed, otherwise the slow accumulation of deposits can end up clogging your oil gearbox filter and potentially damaging its components, resulting in costly repairs.  view simple, instructions on when and how to check and change your gear oil and filter, ensuring your gearbox keeps working its best.

When should I change my gearbox oil and filter?

If your vehicle or machinery doesn’t have an oil life monitoring system that automatically alerts you when your gear oil requires changing, knowing when to change your gear oil and filter can be an imperfect science, but there are guides for different types of vehicles:

• Manual gearboxes usually require a gearbox oil change every 30,000 to 50,000 mi (48,000 to 80,000 km).
• Automatic gearboxes usually have gear oil change intervals of between 60,000 to 100,000 mi (96,000 to 160,000 km).
• It’s advisable that you change your gearbox oil filter at the same time as your oil.
• If you have a gearbox leak repaired, then always change your oil after the repair to ensure it’s fully topped up.
