What is the replacement interval for the transmission oil in the Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
Trumpchi GS4 transmission oil should be replaced every 85,000 kilometers or 51 months. Here is some information about transmission oil: 1. Car owners should regularly change the transmission oil. If the transmission oil is not replaced for a long time, it will deteriorate and evaporate under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, thereby accelerating the wear of mechanical parts. In severe cases, it may damage internal transmission components and shorten the vehicle's lifespan. 2. The main functions of transmission oil are to keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate the transmission device, extending its service life. 3. Due to different transmission designs, there are manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (which are further divided into CVT, AMT, etc.). Each transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles will have differences in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission oil.
Our family has owned the GAC Trumpchi GS4 for several years. The transmission fluid replacement cycle is generally every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every 4 years, as specified in the user manual. I think this maintenance is extremely important because aged fluid can lead to rough shifting, acceleration lag, and even transmission damage, which can cost tens of thousands to repair. I personally go to the 4S shop for a replacement every 50,000 kilometers. Frequent city traffic jams raise oil temperatures and accelerate deterioration, but the replacement process is straightforward and hassle-free. It’s important to regularly check the fluid quality—dark black color is a sign it’s time for a change. Different driving habits, like frequent highway driving or harsh road conditions, can shorten the interval. I recommend owners develop a habit of recording mileage and sticking to scheduled maintenance to prolong lifespan and save money.
