I recently changed the transmission oil on my car.
I filled with redline mt-90
how long do these gear oil last before the next oil change ?
i'm on my third year... the original oil was probably never changed, and it looked really disgusting... was in there for 12 years? :lol:
VW says it's supposed to good for the life of the car. :lol: If you changed it every 80,000 - 100,000 km (60,000 miles) or so, I'm sure you would never have any problems. Gear oil doesn't have to contend with nearly as many contaminants as engine oil.
thanks for the response guys.
Generally I say change gear oil every 100,000 miles, auto tranny fluid every 40,000 miles (50,000 for 01M).
