Transmission oil and filters should be changed every 30,000 miles unless you have a newer car, then they should be changed every 100,000. If the car is still running weird, take it into a shop.
Yes, if nothing else it'll need its oil changed evey now and then.
Hi, I just changed oil tonight. The engine and transmission share the same oil. The drain is at the rear of the transmission. Use a 14mm wrench.
No, they are not. If you ask for an oil change they will change the engine oil & filter. They will not change the transmission fluid unless you ask for it.
Find another shop. Most manual transmissions oil need to be changed only after 50,000 to 100,000 miles. If you have no shifting problems leave it alone.
this uses ford transmission fluid NOT gear oil in the manual transmission. Filler is on the top of the Transmission and is NOT meant to be changed for the life of the Car. I currently have several of these and even at 350,000 have not changed the fluid.
I am curious to know which oil you changed. Usually when one says oil change, they are referring to the engine oil. When referring to a transmission, one usually says they are doing a transmission fluid change. You mention the oil came out red. Red is the color of transmission fluid. I'm wondering if you drained the transmission fluid thinking you were draining the engine oil. If so, the transmission is empty and that would be the reason for no reverse or drive gears.
Inside the Transmission. You need to remove the Transmission Oil Pan to have access to it...
Oil turns black due to carbonation and absorption of dirt. It has to be changed. If the question refers to automatic transmission oil, then carbonation, dirt and worn out clutch plate particles turns oil in to black.
Yes! you should flush your transmission fluid at least two or three times a year or when you chanfe your fluid and filter in the tranny.
if manual transmission , it will need 90-grade gear oil
Automatic transmission oil filters ware located inside the transmission, under the transmission oil pan. You have to remove the transmission oil pan to replace it and then you will need to refill it with new transmission fluid.
The oil type that is used for a manual transmission will depend on the car. Most cars will take 10W30 oil.
