Do You Really Need to Change the Transmission Fluid?
Some manufacturers extend fluid intervals (for example up to 160,000 km, and some claims of “lifetime” fluid). In real-world driving, that can be too long. Heat and wear break fluid down over time.
Hard use such as stop-start driving, towing, or heavy loads increases temperatures and accelerates fluid deterioration.
How Often Do You Have to Change Transmission Fluid?
Recommended Fluid Change Intervals
| Transmission Type | Manufacturer Interval | Real-World Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | 50,000-100,000 km | Every 40,000-60,000 km |
| Automatic | 80,000-160,000 km | Every 60,000-80,000 km |
| DSG/CVT | 60,000-120,000 km | Every 50,000-70,000 km |
Manual transmissions
Many manufacturers recommend changing manual transmission fluid around every 50,000 to 100,000 km.
Automatic transmissions
Automatic transmission fluid can degrade faster because automatics generate more heat.

Transmission Service – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about transmission servicing, maintenance, and repairs
How often should a transmission service be done?
In real-world driving conditions, most vehicles benefit from a transmission service every
50,000–80,000 km. Heavy use such as city driving, towing, or stop-start traffic
can shorten service intervals.
What are the signs that my transmission needs servicing?
Common warning signs include rough or delayed gear changes, slipping gears, unusual noises,
burning smells, fluid leaks, or warning lights on the dashboard.
Is transmission service different for manual and automatic vehicles?
Yes. Manual transmissions typically use gear oil and follow different service intervals,
while automatic, CVT, and DSG transmissions rely on specialised fluids that also act as
hydraulic fluid and coolant.
Can I drive with old or contaminated transmission fluid?
Driving with degraded transmission fluid increases internal wear and heat buildup.
Over time, this can lead to costly gearbox repairs or complete transmission failure.
Do you provide mobile transmission servicing in Canberra?
Yes. Advanced Mobile Mechanics provides mobile transmission servicing and repairs
