Why It Is Important to Check the Oil Level in a Manual Gearbox

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Transmission

Video tutorial

In this video, the YouTuber gives advice that many of us, especially owners of a car with a manual gearbox, do not consider at all. Nowadays, any owner of a car with an automatic gearbox is aware of the importance of properly maintaining their automatic transmission, with regular and even frequent oil changes.

Naturally, during servicing, a check of the gearbox oil is also performed, with a possible top-up. However, this has not yet been embraced by owners of manual gearbox vehicles: it is mistakenly thought that a manual gearbox requires little to no maintenance.

This is not true. In fact, many new cars come to market with less transmission oil than is necessary.

During servicing, have a look at your manual gearbox!
