We Also get a lot of questions regarding gearbox services, when they are due and if they are necessary?
Like any other components of your car the gearbox and the engine work equally hard. So my question to you is? If it is necessary to change your engine oil then why not your gearbox oil as well.
What is the service intervals?
Well it is advisable to change your gearbox oil along with your gearbox filter/sifter every 60 000km.
Most dealers will tell you this is not necessary , that there oil is life time oil that never needs to be replaced.
Again its debatable, and up to you as the owner of the vehicle if this is something you feel needs to be replaced or not.
