When to Use / Replace?

Check your vehicle's service manual for exact intervals. Most manual transmissions require fluid inspection every 40,000–60,000 km or annually. Replace transmission fluid every 80,000–160,000 km depending on driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations. If you experience rough shifting, grinding noises, or fluid leaks, inspect and top up immediately.

This fluid is ideal for daily driving, highway use, and performance driving where transmission reliability matters. Store in a cool, dry place; shelf life is typically 3–5 years in sealed containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this in my automatic transmission?
