How often should the transmission fluid in a Magotan be changed?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Magotan's transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. The following are the benefits of regular transmission fluid changes: 1. Ensures smooth and seamless gear shifting, improving driving performance. 2. Provides excellent oxidation resistance, reducing component rust. 3. Contains high-quality extreme pressure additives, offering superior protection for gear sets. 4. Delivers optimal anti-wear effects, extending the lifespan of the automatic transmission. 5. When changing transmission fluid, it is important to use high-quality branded transmission fluid, which effectively protects gears, reduces wear, enhances vehicle performance, saves fuel, extends the fluid's service life, and lowers maintenance and repair costs.
I've been driving the automatic transmission version of the Magotan for six years. Generally, the transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If not, the aging fluid can affect gear shifting smoothness and even cause the transmission to overheat. If you often accelerate aggressively or frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, the fluid may degrade faster, and you might need to check it at around 50,000 kilometers. I recommend referring to the owner's manual or regularly visiting a repair shop to check the fluid's color and viscosity. If it's too dark or too thin, change it immediately. Remember, timely replacement can significantly extend the transmission's lifespan and avoid costly repairs. Once, I didn't change it on time, and the car started shaking badly, costing me thousands in repairs—a painful lesson.
