Gearbox Oil Change
Smooth Gear Changes Start Here
Your gearbox is one of the hardest-working parts of your car - and also one of the most expensive to repair.
Keeping the gearbox oil clean and topped up helps it shift smoothly, stay cool, and last longer. At Max P Motors, we provide professional gearbox oil changes for both manual and automatic cars, using quality oils that meet manufacturer standards.
Why Gearbox Oil Matters
Gearbox oil (sometimes called transmission fluid) keeps all the moving parts inside your gearbox lubricated and protected from heat and wear.
Over time, that oil breaks down and collects metal particles, which can cause:
Jerky or hard gear changes
Whining or grinding noises
Gear slipping or loss of power
Expensive gearbox damage
Changing the oil regularly removes those contaminants and keeps everything working smoothly.
How Often Should You Change It?
Most cars need a gearbox oil change every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the make, model, and how it’s driven.
Automatic gearboxes often need it sooner because they run hotter and depend more on clean fluid to function properly.
If you’re unsure, bring your car in — we’ll check the fluid condition and tell you honestly if it needs changing.
Our Gearbox Oil Change Service
When you bring your car to Max P Motors, we don’t just drain and refill the oil. We do it properly.
Here’s what we do:
Drain old, dirty oil from the gearbox
Replace it with fresh, manufacturer-approved oil
Check for leaks, seals, and proper fluid levels
Inspect the gearbox for signs of wear or contamination
The whole process usually takes under an hour, depending on your vehicle type.
What Happens If You Don’t Change Gearbox Oil
Ignoring gearbox oil changes can quietly destroy your gearbox over time — here’s how:
1. Increased Friction and Heat
Old oil loses its ability to lubricate. The metal parts start rubbing directly against each other, causing heat and premature wear.
2. Rough Gear Changes
Contaminated oil can cause gears to stick or grind, making shifts feel jerky or delayed.
3. Gearbox Failure
Over time, debris and lack of lubrication lead to internal damage - and replacing a gearbox costs far more than a simple oil change.
4. Noisy Operation
You might hear whining or clunking sounds as the gearbox struggles under stress — a sign the oil is long overdue for a change.
