Less frequent than engine oil change

Draining your automatic transmission is just as essential

Every 60,000 km or every 2 years.

When should the oil be changed and at what interval?

 Without symptoms:  

  •  Transmission manufacturers recommend an oil change every 60,000 km. (Please refer to your vehicle’s maintenance manual to know the exact interval for your car) 
  •  If you drive mostly in the city, the transmission is more heavily used, and we recommend changing the oil every two years. 

 With symptoms, here are the warning signs to look out for before the scheduled interval:  

  •  Loss of transmission responsiveness: gear changes are slower than usual 
  • Squeaking noises when shifting gears
  •  Clunking or jerking: the vehicle may lurch (forward or backward) even if you haven’t pressed the accelerator 
  •  Slipping between gears 

Entrust the oil change of your gearbox to an expert Bardahl center

  •  Performs a preliminary diagnosis and provides a personalized estimate. Checks for possible leaks and verifies the condition of mechanical components and seals. 
  •  Drains and flushes all of your transmission oil. For your information, a gravity drain done by yourself without the proper equipment only removes up to 50% of the oil in the transmission. 
  •  Uses specific oil that complies with manufacturer standards and recommendations 
  •  Replaces the filter and the strainer 
  •  Preserves your vehicle’s manufacturer warranty
