Gearbox servicing for your German Vehicle in Rayleigh
Â
The "Sealed for Life" Myth
Many main dealers claim that modern German automatic gearboxes are "sealed for life" and will never require an oil change. However, the manufacturers who actually design and build these gearboxes advise differently. They officially recommend that the transmission oil and filter be replaced every 50,000 to 75,000 miles (or every 8 years).
