Automatic gearbox fluid change in Belgium
In Perwez, in Walloon Brabant, 30 minutes from Brussels, Namur and Wavre, Shiftech Belgium is equipped with the MotulEvo machine, the leading solution for a complete automatic gearbox oil change. Our team, with over 18 years’ experience, can service your automatic gearbox in 1½ to 2 hours, by appointment.
Why should you change the fluid in your automatic gearbox?
Contrary to a belief that is still very widespread, an automatic gearbox is not ‘lubricated for life’. This is one of the most costly myths for Belgian motorists. Manufacturers themselves now recommend an oil change every 60,000 km on average, and as early as 40,000 km for the most heavily used gearboxes: the 7-speed DSG in the Golf GTI/R and Audi S/RS models, the ZF 8HP in BMW M and Range Rover models, the PDK in the Porsche 911 and Cayenne, and Japanese CVTs.
A poorly maintained automatic gearbox first manifests itselfthrough unpleasant symptoms: jerks when pulling away, abrupt gear changes, hesitation when downshifting, vibrations, or even slippage of the torque converter. Between daily commutes and business trips, Belgian automatic transmissions are subjected to a variety of conditions that warrant proactive maintenance.
In the long run, the cost can be very high. Replacing an automatic gearbox costs between €2,000 and €5,000 on standard vehicles, and €6,000 to €12,000 on premium automatic gearboxes (PDK, DKG, ZF 8HP), which are very common on the Belgian market. A simple preventative oil change costs a fraction of this amount and significantly extends the life of your gearbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 60,000 km. For gearboxes under heavy use (dry 7-speed DSG, ZF 8HP on vehicles with over 250 ch, CVT), we recommend a shorter interval, around 40,000 to 50,000 km.
