How Many Kilometers Should You Change Transmission Oil?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, manual transmissions using mineral oil require an oil change every 2-3 years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers, while those using synthetic oil only need a change every 150,000-200,000 kilometers. Below are several methods for changing transmission oil: 1. Gravity Drain: Loosen the transmission drain bolt to drain the oil, then refill through the filler port. The drawback is that gravity draining does not completely remove all the old oil. 2. Machine Flush: Connect a transmission flushing machine to the transmission's oil lines, fill the machine with new oil, and use the new oil to "push" out the old oil from the transmission. 3. Remove the Transmission Oil Pan: This method allows for cleaning or directly replacing the transmission filter, and it ensures a more thorough oil change. However, the downside is that the process is more labor-intensive.
