Does a manual transmission need gearbox oil replacement?
1 Answers
Manual transmissions do require gearbox oil replacement, but there isn't a fixed interval for changing manual transmission fluid. Since manual transmissions have simpler structures and more mature technology compared to automatic transmissions, they have lower requirements for transmission fluid. Automatic transmission fluid typically needs replacement every two years or approximately 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, whereas manual transmission fluid can be replaced every three years or after driving about 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. However, the specific timing depends on the actual usage condition of the transmission. Vehicle owners should perform regular maintenance on the transmission. After driving for a certain period, they should check for any oil leaks and inspect the condition of the transmission fluid. If the transmission fluid level is insufficient, it should be replenished promptly. If the fluid color darkens or the quality deteriorates, it should be replaced immediately.
