Guide to Replacing Automatic Gearbox Oil

Model: Mini Mini R53, R50, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Transmission fluid

The video shows the steps to replace the oil in your gearbox and provides additional useful information to keep in mind. The first step is to drain the old oil; this process is somewhat slow, and you must ensure the reservoir is completely emptied. Next, clean with an additive and finally refill the reservoir with oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. It is important to highlight that before adding the new oil, you should purge any residues of the old oil, followed by topping up with a restorative additive. The car in the video is a Mini, but the procedure is similar for other vehicles.
