What is transmission oil used for?


Sometimes known as transmission fluid, transmission oil helps to power and cool down metal parts in your vehicle and bearings in your vehicle’s transmission. Acting as a lubricant, transmission oil allows actions like shifting gears to take place without parts grinding together or overheating.

Are gearbox oil and transmission oil the same thing?


No. While gearbox oil and transmission oil have a similar purpose, they target different areas of the vehicle. Gear oil is used for manual transmission within the gear system itself, while transmission fluid is used to cool working parts, and ensure there's no build-up of debris in the system.

Do you really need to change transmission oil?


Your transmission oil should be changed regularly to ensure your gears work correctly. Depending on your driving habits and the type of vehicle you have, you should replace your transmission oil every 30,000 - 60,000 miles.

How do I know if I need transmission fluid?


Unusual gear behaviour is a sign your transmission fluid needs replacing. Telltale changes include; difficulty switching gears, accelerating without hearing your engine rev, and slipping out of gear.
