paulfoel Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Getting gear box problems and I'm doubtful if its ever been changed - 70K now.Getting serviced next week (by my local mechanic) and have asked him to change it rather than just top up. BUT, I want to make sure he knows what hes doing? I understand its not that straightforward? Or should any decent mechanic be able to do this no problems? Quote

marinabrid Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 what problems are you getting to make you want to change the oil ? i too have auto with 73,000 on not a lot i would hope ! after much reading on the forums sometimes a change of the oil seems to make things worse depending on whats done. some seem to think it should last over 100,000 miles others say change it at 40k a bit of an oddity these autos.

paulfoel Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Posted May 9, 2015 Well its been changed and its much better. Much smoother gear changes. Still judders a bit pulling off so not sure if its 100% but much better. See my other post re: engine malfunction warning. This disappeared for few days so wondering if its connected? Quote
