I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Movano and am wondering how often I should change the gear oil and how to do it myself. Any tips or recommendations?
ReplyHi Sarah, congratulations on your purchase of a Vauxhall Movano! In general, it is recommended to change the gear oil every 30,000 miles or every 3 years, whichever comes first. However, depending on your driving habits and conditions, it may need to be changed more frequently. To change the gear oil, you will need to locate the drain plug on the bottom of the transmission, remove it, and then refill the transmission with the appropriate type and amount of gear oil. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, it is always best to seek the help of a professional mechanic. Hope this helps!
Hi Sarah, since you have purchased a used Vauxhall Movano, it is always a good idea to do a thorough inspection of the vehicle and its components, including the gear oil. If the previous owner was not diligent with maintenance, it may be a good idea to change the gear oil sooner rather than later. As for the actual process of changing the gear oil, refer to the owner's manual or consult with a mechanic to ensure it is done correctly. Additionally, consider investing in high-quality gear oil to prolong the life of your transmission. Best of luck!
