My 2016 new speed pie has been running for more than 3 years, and its mileage is more than 60, 000 kilometers. General vehicles need to do more maintenance items after 60,000 kilometers, such as changing gearbox oil, replacing spark plugs, gasoline filter elements, checking and changing brake oil and antifreeze coolant when necessary.
By chance, I got a coupon for free replacement of gearbox oil, valued at 1500 yuan, including 12 litres of gearbox oil, free of working hours. The general oil change method does not need 12 liters of gearbox oil, this is a cyclic oil change method, the manufacturer is very powerful.
The place to change the oil is in Hexi, and I have traveled more than 30 kilometers from Hedong. We arrived at the maintenance point before 9 o’clock on Sunday morning, and the workshop was already at work. After picking up the car, the maintenance personnel went out to test the car, made sure that there was nothing wrong with the gearbox, and went back to the workshop to get ready to change the oil.
It is troublesome to send a new speed car to change the gearbox oil. The intake manifold needs to be removed, and the battery and battery base also need to be removed to reveal the cover of the gearbox to change the oil. It doesn’t take long to change the oil, but it takes time to disassemble and assemble these parts, but the total time is less than two hours. Cyclic oil change is still cleaner and more thorough than gravity oil change, but requires nearly twice as much gearbox oil.
After changing the gearbox oil, the settlement cost 300 yuan, which is to make up the price difference of the gearbox oil. My seven-speed wet double clutch transmission needs SG type oil, which is dozens of yuan more expensive than regular oil per liter. However, on the whole, the store is well-equipped and professional in maintenance, so it is very trustworthy.

The ring road on Sunday morning is relatively smooth, and the fuel consumption is touching.
