Patagil Posted September 19, 2024 Share Posted September 19, 2024 In April, I performed three sump dumps on my ASIN 6-speed automatic gearbox with 90,000 miles, and the fluid remained black. Nonetheless, there was a discernible improvement in the brightness and smoothness of the box. This was only a preventive maintenance activity; there were no issues with the box. I let it to sit for a while to enable fluid circulation and performed three further sump dumps this weekend. September. Only during the drainage of the sixth dump was the clear pink fluid clearly visible. I was astonished by the number of attempts required to remove the most of the filth; nonetheless, if you are considering doing this task, prepare for six disposals. I adjusted the fluid level to 53 degrees Celsius. Reset the oil deterioration counter and performed a gearbox reset. There was once again a significant enhancement, making it seem much more like to a new vehicle. Highly beneficial and quite simple once started. It should provide a another 100,000 miles; however, I will likely replace it again in 50,000 miles. Uncertain expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddokt Posted September 19, 2024 Share Posted September 19, 2024 Impressive effort, Patagil! I requested a replacement of the manual gearbox oil at my previous service, and it now operates very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagil Posted September 19, 2024 Author Share Posted September 19, 2024 It is my vehicle, and I understand that vintage automobiles benefit from proper maintenance. I completed the second PTU oil change; the first experience was unsatisfactory, but this time it was much improved. Despite having it for four years, I really like it and cannot identify a better alternative, but the XC90 remains enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameInterest Posted September 19, 2024 Share Posted September 19, 2024 I temporarily used an XC90 as a courtesy vehicle. Articulate it in this manner... I really anticipated returning to the Evoque! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddokt Posted September 19, 2024 Share Posted September 19, 2024 Indeed, I share the same sentiment; nothing captivates me quite like my Evoque. I still have affection for it, however I acknowledge the need to change. I just began exploring Polestars and the new Volvo EX40, only to discover the considerable challenges associated with installing an electric charging station in my garage owing to the position of the electric meter cabinet. I may be able to use the Garage circuit on a 40A breaker; however, the neighbours have been informed that they can no longer use it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypabl Posted September 19, 2024 Share Posted September 19, 2024 I performed four oil changes on my vehicle, in two sets of two, and found it sufficiently clean. It did enhance the fluidity of the gear transitions, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagil Posted September 19, 2024 Author Share Posted September 19, 2024 Indeed, electric vehicles provide an intriguing alternative; yet, in terms of long-term ownership, I am avoiding them owing to the restricted battery guarantees and exorbitant expenses associated with potential failures. The one exception I have seen is Toyota, which offers a guarantee of up to 15 years on their batteries; however, their vehicles are somewhat unexciting.
