Video tutorial

Gearbox oil is essential for lubricating all the gears that allow you to change gears in both manual and automatic gearboxes. Lubrication of the gearbox is always important, even when not changing gears.

In fact, even when driving on the motorway, the gears are always in motion. It is crucial to always adhere to the maintenance schedule set by the manufacturer, particularly to change the oil within the specified mileage.

Additionally, always identify the type of oil and its specifications suitable for the vehicle type (see the user and maintenance manual). If possible, regularly check the oil level and top up if necessary.
