Oh dear!!

I saw your troubles in a couple of earlier posts. Absolute rubbish really, yet still I’m fully hopeful of getting a good 200k out of my D5 before I think about giving up. Haven’t parted with much cash yet at least (79k miles)

I had a look at the aisin website and yes it does look like they recommend it. I toe occasionally but v little mileage wise so it’s difficult to say.

I find when I do tow it’s either about 800kg or nearly 2t so perhaps I really ought to as the small miles done are on highland single passing place roads….

I will ask at my Scottish dealer next week and update.

Any point changing the oil on a manual?

Mine (v60 D4 2019) has just hit 90k.

I cracked open the filler plug, oil seep from it suggests it's full and the oil was clean. I've never bothered before on any manual unless it played up. Box feels no different to when the car had 50 miles on it.

Unlike autos manuals don't have clutch packs or anything else that is expected to wear to the point of contaminating oil. I'd only change manual transmission fluid if the car was driven through deep water regularly.

With a manual the oil is there simply to lube, it doesn't get contaminated by combustion or the red hot to stone cold factor so unless it's leaking it's best left alone, it also never goes near the clutch unless there is a leak, hth.

With dual clutch as Cano mentions the oil provides hydraulic assistance and cooling to the clutches in them if they're wet clutch boxes, a dry clutch dual clutch are known to overheat and warp the plates, hth.
