What are the effects of not changing manual transmission oil for 100,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
Manual transmission oil that hasn't been changed for 100,000 kilometers may lead to changes in the pH level of the transmission fluid, corrosion of transmission gears, and increased viscosity of the fluid. Here are the relevant details: 1. Transmission Oil: Transmission oil not only lubricates and protects the transmission but also facilitates power transmission, gear cooling, cleaning, and rust prevention. Compared to engine oil, transmission oil has better fluidity and is less viscous. 2. Manual Transmission: Manual transmissions are commonly found in many Japanese cars, which mostly use CVT transmissions. For Honda CVT transmissions, it is recommended to change the oil every 3 years or approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers. For Toyota CVT transmissions, the recommendation is to change the oil every 3-4 years or around 50,000-60,000 kilometers.
