Seriously????? How many Automatics have you had in your life? How many of them were high-powered? Do you think that just because the gearbox fluid isn't exposed to the internal combustion process, that it somehow stays in perfect nick and things like clutch pack wear and swarf from general "wear & tear" are are all lies and we are all living in our own little fantasy worlds?
Oh dear...

Re: Gearbox oil...
Even Merc back-tracked on 'box oil changes in recent years. Oil is cheap compared to a tranny replacement or overhaul. I know what I'd be doing, and it doesn't include leaving it to chance. Oil immersed clutch plates and gear sets create fine debris just through regular use, and that's before high power and torque loadings are applied.
Going on your theory, why bother to change engine oil or diff oil? It's the same principle, right?

Re: Gearbox oil...
If some people want to change their gearbox oil, even though Audi don't recomend it, then surely that is up to them. After all it is their car and they can do what they like to it. They don't need to justify it to anyone. Clearly they have their reasons for doing so.Tadass910 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 2:36 pmEveryone seems to be very clever in this forum, clever than Audi technician? Maybe in uk you have weird Audi dealers, here in eu we trust our Audi dealers and if they say it’s no need to change oil in a transmission then we trust moreover if it was stated not by only one eu dealer)
Similarly if you just want to follow what Audi advise, then that is your choice.
This is the internet, people have different opinions, big deal!

Re: Gearbox oil...
Agreed, by the Audi said they can change it if I want, but ZF recommends change it only if you run your car in very extreme conditions ) by Audi it’s not necessary to change it)GlynRS2 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:05 pmIf some people want to change their gearbox oil, even though Audi don't recomend it, then surely that is up to them.

Re: Gearbox oil...
Ok. Now i know the reason this. Sorry for say that but is not suprise me at all that your country audi says that no need to change gearbox oil. And sorry for that but you live there maybe year 1980-1990 i know that because in not so far im in Finland. Your country can made by them selfs in audi maintaince system and put this audi logo.
Not very what can i say this honest people.
