One of the most important points in car maintenance is the oil change in the gearbox. Yes, the regulations for the maintenance of many cars require the replacement of gearbox oil every 60,000 km, but, unfortunately, not all drivers follow similar rules.
The main difficulty in changing the oil in the gearbox is that the vast majority of cars have a maintenance-free gearbox. Oil change in a transmission of this type can be qualitatively carried out only in the specialized service center. After all, in such checkpoints there is no usual oil filler neck, drain hole and there is no probe for measuring the oil level. Such a gearbox can be properly serviced only by a specialist with extensive experience.

How is the gearbox oil changed?
In most cases, there is only one drain of working off and pouring new oil. The checkpoint necessarily needs washing of the crankcase pallet from a deposit. To do this, unscrew the crankcase tray and clean the inside of the box. This work is not easy.
The pallet is located above the road, it is practically not protected from the aggressive effects of the environment and chemicals from the roadway. The mounting bolts of the crankcase have time to ferment properly for 3-5 years of operation, ie in the period between scheduled maintenance. Unscrewing acid bolts in a home garage is a very dangerous or even impossible task.
There are cases when car owners carry out maintenance at home and simply break the threads of the mount or lick the bolt heads. By the way, the mount may break off. All these nuances have a significant impact on the final price of MOT. As a rule, it is much cheaper to drive the car to the service station immediately and entrust this work to professionals.
To work with responsible hardware, our experts use a tool with a calibrated high-strength head. The edges of such keys have jewelry precision and high performance. Of course, we must not forget about the technique of unscrewing the problem mount. Only a craftsman with extensive experience working with fermented bolts will be able to confidently and safely unscrew all fasteners.
You need to be careful and with the gasket of the crankcase lid seal. In maintenance-free checkpoints gaskets may not be at all, as the covers sit down just on the sealant. We will install a full gasket on the pallet of the box.
By working with us, you can be sure that you are personally helping to protect the environment. We do not pour used oil in the backyard of our workshop or in the sewer. Disposal is sent for disposal. It is used to prepare fuel for oil furnaces, solid oils and so on.
Why oil needs to be changed more often?
It is worth noting that the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer, regarding the maintenance of the checkpoint, provide that the car will be operated in a “gentle” mode. That is, the vehicle will travel on smooth roads, in compliance with speed limits, etc.
In practice, the operating conditions of the vehicle do not meet the standard. This means that the checkpoint receives a larger load than expected. For this reason experts recommend that oil change in a check point was carried out more often, than it is necessary. Only in this case, the box will be able to maintain impeccable accuracy and smooth shifting for many years.
