Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / September 2005Sentra, manual transmission - oil change
Is this true you do not change the manual transmission fluid/oil until there is a time for the clutch service ? How often do this car need a clutch service ? I have mine for 130k miles and the clutch is still good. Does it mean the oil in the transmission is good, as well ? > Is this true you do not change the manual transmission > fluid/oil until there is a time for the clutch service ? > > How often do this car need a clutch service ? > I have mine for 130k miles and the clutch is still good. > Does it mean the oil in the transmission is good, as well ? That's not true. Change it. > Is this true you do not change the manual transmission > fluid/oil until there is a time for the clutch service ? no > How often do this car need a clutch service ? when the clutch wears out > I have mine for 130k miles and the clutch is still good. > Does it mean the oil in the transmission is good, as well ? maybe yes maybe no. we don't know your driving habits the bottom line here is transmission gear oil wears out just like engine oil but not as fast, a good rule of thumb is to change the transmission oil every 30,000 miles no matter if the transmission is an automatic or manual.The same goes for transfer cases and front and rear differentials > the bottom line here is transmission gear oil wears out just like engine oil > but not as fast, a good rule of thumb is to change the transmission oil > every 30,000 miles no matter if the transmission is an automatic or > manual.The same goes for transfer cases and front and rear differentials Interesting, because opposite was told in the nissan dealer... I asked for transmission oil change and the woman at the counter aksed me "why? it needs change only when you replace clutch"... How can I believe dealer service now ? >> the bottom line here is transmission gear oil wears out just like engine >> oil [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > aksed me "why? it needs change only when you replace clutch"... > How can I believe dealer service now ? It is quite possible to get "misinformation" at any reputable car dealership. While transmission oil does not break down as quickly as does the engine oil, it should be changed at every 30,000 mile mark *unless* there is service done in between. Even more critical if most of your driving is done in city traffic. The lubricants viscosity will change over time, and it really makes sense to do it. You can even buy heavy duty rare earth magnets that attach to the pan and will trap ferrous particles there, and they can be removed at the time the fluid is changed. Bobby
