How many kilometers does the Boyue need to drive before replacing the transmission oil?
2 Answers
It is generally recommended to replace the transmission oil of the Boyue every 2 years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle varies for different models. Below are the replacement cycles for transmission oil: Manual Transmission: It is generally recommended to replace the manual transmission oil every 3 years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: It is generally recommended to replace the automatic transmission oil every 2 years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): It is generally recommended to replace the CVT oil every 2 years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil, then refill it. Directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain the oil and refill it: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission oil: Dynamic oil replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Boyue for three years, and the transmission fluid issue really depends on the specific situation. For automatic transmission Boyue models, the manual usually recommends changing it around 60,000 kilometers, but driving habits make a big difference. For example, if you frequently shift gears in congested urban areas or do lots of high-speed long-distance driving, the fluid degradation varies. I know several Boyue owners—some had blackened fluid at 50,000 km, while others still had clear fluid at 70,000 km. It's best to check the fluid condition in advance. If you notice a burnt smell or significantly increased gear-shift hesitation, don't stubbornly wait until 60,000 km—change it early for peace of mind. Don't just listen to the dealership; observing your transmission's performance yourself is most reliable.
