Parts specialist MEYLE has produced a new informative wall chart which highlights the importance of oil changes for automatic transmissions. The wall chart, available inside the June Autobiz Magazine also provides useful information on transmission servicing procedures and the range of innovative kits MEYLE offers in this fast growing field.

MEYLE say that the myth that automatic transmissions do not require an oil change has long been refuted, so to help garages understand the importance of these changes, it has created a useful wall chart. This gives workshops an overview of service intervals for different transmissions. It also shows which MEYLE oil change kit is the correct one for the job.

If the gear oil is changed regularly, most gear specifications generally do not require gear flushing. Gearbox flushing is not recommended for gearboxes with higher mileage (from ca 90,000 miles), as it can lead to gearbox damage. MEYLE recommends that when making transmission oil changes vehicle manufacturer instructions are followed.

Each MEYLE-ORIGINAL oil change kit contains all components required for oil changes. This includes; Filters, Seals, Screws, Drain or inlet screws, Magnets and the appropriate volume of ATF.

As well as the workshop wall chart, everything a technician needs to know about oil changes on automatic transmissions such as oil change videos, instructions, FAQs and an oil change finder can be found online at www.meyle.com/kits/oilchange
