Hi guys.i'm new on this forum and need some advise please!
Planning to change gearbox oil and filter soon,nothing wrong with gearbox so far, but its already 100k on clock and oil never been changed!
Had a few different opinions,some says if nothing wrong with it better to leave it and don't do anything,other says do it as it has to be changed every 60k kilometres!Audi dealers told its lifetime and its factory sealed which is hard to believe!
If someone had an experience and can help with an advise will be great! Thanks

Have it changed, mine was done twice and it made a huge difference... make sure whoever you get to do it does a proper change where they drain the full sump and torque converter.
It should take roughly 9+ litres if the jobs done right, also make sure you get a new filter and that when the oil is done the gearbox is reset and re-adapted as the new oil changes all the friction properties and will make for rougher shifting unless its "re-learned"


Prices are usually around £400

Nothing is lifetime if it has moving parts and oil.
