Yes, the oil in a gearbox with a dry clutch does need to be changed. The gearbox oil, or transmission fluid, lubricates the gears and other moving parts within the transmission, helping to reduce friction, wear, and overheating. Even though a dry clutch system does not share oil with the gearbox (unlike a wet clutch system), the gearbox oil still degrades over time due to heat, contamination, and shear forces. Regularly changing the gearbox oil is essential for maintaining the transmission's performance and longevity. The recommended interval for changing the gearbox oil can vary based on the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines, driving conditions, and the type of oil used but we recommend servicing the gearbox every 60 000km or 4 years (whichever comes first) on most vehicles to be on the safe side.
That's my Dad!! Top mechanic out there😏. This is such a nice video, very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Such an awesome video from such an awesome guy.
Thank you for the video. What about the dry clutch, does it need an oil change ?

How do I find out of my car has a dry or wet clutch? Thank you.
