gearbox oil interval Q&A Review

What can I do to stop or prevent gearbox and bearing failures?

Change your gearbox oil at or before the recommended interval. Drive gently. Don’t pull a trailer or carry heavy loads. Even if you have a pickup truck that’s rated for towing, this will still significantly reduce the life of your gearbox and increase the chance of catastrophic failure. If you must tow or carry heavy loads, change your gearbox oil much more frequently. If you’re using a manual transmission, don’t push hard on the shifter. Use rev-matching and smooth clutch engagement to help reduce wear to your synchros. Don’t downshift to decelerate/engine brake. (I don’t actually recommend skipping engine braking. This will result in increased brake wear and may be dangerous under some driving conditions. However, it will reduce wear on the gearbox.) Get a lightweight flywheel. Repair problems with your vehicle as soon as they appear. Anything from misfires to bad U-joints can eventually wear or damage your transmission. Sensor problems can damage automatic transmissions. Install a transmission temperature sensor. Install a transmission cooler if the transmission runs hot. Don’t install wheels that are a different size than that recommended in your owner’s manual. Lastly, there’s nothing you can do to absolutely prevent gearbox failure. There are a lot of parts rubbing together in there at high speeds and pressures. Some components are designed to wear. Bearings do just eventually fail, no matter how gentle you are to them. Learn your vehicle and get used to how it sounds and feels. When bearings finally start to wear out, they tend to vibrate and make rushing/grinding sounds. If you use your senses to notice problems when they first appear, and get them repaired right away, the repair bills tend to be a lot less money. A transmission with a noisy bearing might need to be taken apart, have all the bearings and seals replaced, and then reassembled. If, instead, you drive 30,000 miles past the first sign of a problem, that noisy bearing could fly apart at high speed and damage other components. The transmission would have to be taken apart, bearings and seals replaced, _and_ broken gears replaced. If you keep on driving until it finally just dies in the middle of the road and won’t move another inch, you can easily damage almost every component inside and it might not even be repairable at any cost. I’ve seen transmissions literally ripped in half. I’ve seen transmissions with a big hole in the side where exploded components flew out on the road. I’ve seen transmissions with components ground down to a nub, and I’ve seen parts welded together by the heat of friction. I’ve also seen plenty that didn’t need any more than a bearing and a set of gaskets & seals.

What's the longest you can go without an oil change? Can all types of cars easily go 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing an oil changes?

It’s a US oddity to have frequent oil changes. I don’t believe the engines of US cars are so different that these are necessary. My perfectly ordinary Peugeot 3008 has 15000km oil change intervals. The gearbox oil interval is “don’t bother, no need to change it ever” :) (there are many, many other similar questions)

Can engine oil in manual transmission decrease sound?

Engine oil isn’t suitable for gearboxes - so you’d expect wear and therefore sound - to increase, at least if you were changing it at normal gearbox oil change intervals - see Mini and Lamborghini Countach which used engine oil (but where it was changed at engine oil intervals, and along with, the engine oil as it was taken from a common sump). There are additives which are claimed to reduce gearbox noise, but generally excess noise indicates wrong oil, low level or excess wear.

How do four stroke motorcycle engines with a shared gearbox lubricate? What system do they use?

Most motorcycle engines share engine oil with gearbox oil, which means the oil has to do a different job than in an engine-only cases. To add to this a lot of motorcycles use a “wet” clutch which is submerged in oil too. In terms of the engine itself it doesn't really do much special, it will have a normal oil pump. The magic happens in the oil, it is specially formulated for the application. It has additives to help the clutch while still maintaining a nice slick surface between the gears. This is why you should never use car oil in a motorbike, and also why the service intervals are shorter on a motorbike. Some bikes have service intervals measured in hours! (The KTM 500 EXC has a 30 hour service interval) Fun fact, the classic mini also shares it's engine oil with the gearbox, but as the clutch is “dry” it can get away with normal car oil, albeit with a shorter service interval than a typical car.

How often should the DSG gearbox oil be changed?

In the VW Golf Alltrack, DSG service is at 40,000 mi intervals. Check your owners manual for other makes and models.

Is it ok to change the engine oil without changing gear oil?

Certainly, as long as the engine oil sump is separate from the gear box case. Many modern motorcycles and a very few automobiles have a common gearbox case and engine sump, but all others have very different oil change intervals for engine and gearbox, with gearbox oil often lasting for the life of the car.

Should I change automatic transmission fluid just because it's brown?

Most definitely yes, however, check with your owners manual for the mileage intervals between Automatic gearbox oil changes, when you renew the oil be sure to renew the filter and the sump gasket also.

Why are car oil and motorcycle oil not interchangeable?

They ,are, generally. Some top end and specific synthetic car oils have friction modifiers which motorcycle wet clutches don’t like, and some motorcycle oils have higher levels of ZDDP additive to manage the higher rigours of having a gearbox running in the engine oil… But that isn’t new. The original Mini had that in 1959. You may have noticed that bikes that share oil between gearbox and engine have very short oil change intervals compared to cars and bikes with separate gearbox oils have oil change intervals similar to that of cars. My 1978 500cc Yamaha has 2000 mile intervals with its shared oil and uses Mobil 1 5w-50 track day motor (not specific to any vehicle) oil, my 1976 BMW with its 1971 tech separate engine and gearbox arrangement had 5000 mile intervals in 1976 and I ran one recently with 0w-50 car oil and 10,000 mile intervals.

How often should you change oil in a 2-stroke?

The only oil you change in a 2 stroke is the gearbox oil, which also serves the clutch. Change at the manufacturer recommended intervals. The engine crankshaft and bearings, obviously get lubricated via either a dedicated oil pump to each cylinder direct like the Suzuki 750GT or through the oil included with the fuel.

How can I take care of my car's "tummy "? Is there anything I can give, just for protection, prevention of problems, just like for us the vitamins?

All your fluids. Coolant, Transmission/Gearbox oil, engine oil, differential oil, transfer case oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid if you have it. Grease the chassis, underoil the car, follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations. Change the air filter as needed. Keep the car clean and waxed. So much can be done. But obviously engine oil at a regular interval for the “tummy” haha. Don't use fuel additives or anything. I missed many maintenance items but this will get you started.
