Vsaka 'tehnična' tekočina s časom in uporabo degradira in slej ko prej je potrebna menjava. Ali zamenjaš samo tekočino ali pa skupaj z menjalnikom, pa je tvoja odločitev.
Na
peugeotforums.com npr. pišejo, da poleg Peugeot-a enak menjalnik (ne vem sicer, ali je to 'tvoj' menjalnik - 6-stopenjski Aisin AWTF 80SC) uporabljajo tudi drugi proizvajalci (Ford, Volvo, GM), pri čemer eni ne predvidevajo menjave, drugi pa kar pogosto (omenjajo 30k milj oz. 48k km).
Na enem
Volvo forumu npr. so za taisti menjalnik napisali tole:
Rule 108: Whatever you do, don't listen to the dealership or your local transmission shop. Volvo says the transmission fluid is lifetime, which it is not. Local shops like to use multi-spec fluids because they don't like messing with or stocking many different types of fluid.
Rule 109: Yes, you can change your transmission fluid if it has not been done and you now have 175k miles, however, plan to do a second fluid change ~5k miles after the first one; then you can go to normal follow-up changes. But the first change should be done with 75-80k miles on the odometer. Do it as early as 60k if you can or if you do more city driving. Follow-up changes should be 20-40k miles and a 30k mile interval is every 6 oil changes (assuming 5k mile changes).
Za proizvajalce se življenjska doba avtomobila neha, ko preteče garancija, zato pa so se spomnili takšnih 'lifetime fluid' neumnosti...
