Automatic gearbox fluid change in Toulouse
In Muret, south of Toulouse, your Shiftech centre is equipped with the MotulEvo machine, the industry-leading solution for a complete automatic gearbox fluid change. Our team, with over 18 years’ experience in vehicle preparation, can service your automatic gearbox in 1½ to 2 hours, by appointment. Cars, commercial vehicles, motorhomes: we service all types of automatic gearboxes.
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 motorists in the ‘Pink City’. Manufacturers themselves now recommend an oil change every 60,000 km on average, and as early as 40,000 km for the hardest-worked gearboxes: the DSG 7 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, the EAT8 in Stellantis SUVs, and Japanese CVTs.
A poorly maintained automatic gearbox first manifests itself through unpleasant symptoms: jerky starts, abrupt gear changes, hesitation when downshifting, vibrations, or even slippage in the torque converter. Between daily commutes on the Toulouse ring road and long journeys to the Pyrenees, the region’s transmissions are put under severe strain, particularly with the increasingly intense heatwaves in Occitanie.
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. A simple preventive oil change costs a fraction of this amount and significantly extends the life of your transmission.

FAQ
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.
