Car Gear Oil Filter Replacement at Autostadt Motor Services, we understand the critical role that a clean and functioning gear oil filter plays in maintaining your car’s gearbox system. In Dubai’s harsh driving conditions—characterized by high heat and dust—gear oil filters can become clogged much faster, leading to severe gearbox issues if not addressed promptly.
When a gear oil filter is dirty or blocked, the transmission fluid cannot circulate properly. This leads to increased wear, poor gear shifting, transmission overheating, and, in extreme cases, complete gearbox failure. Timely replacement is essential for protecting your transmission and ensuring smooth vehicle performance.
Knowing the signs of a failing gear oil filter helps you take early action and avoid costly gearbox damage. Look out for these symptoms:
1. Transmission fluid not flowing properly
If your vehicle hesitates or stalls during gear changes, it may indicate restricted fluid flow due to a clogged filter.
2. Unusual noises during shifting
Grinding or whining sounds when changing gears often point to inadequate lubrication caused by a dirty filter.
3. Gear slippage or delayed shifts
If your car shifts slowly or the gears slip, a dirty or blocked gear oil filter may be the cause.
4. Transmission overheating
Restricted fluid flow can cause the gearbox to overheat, increasing the risk of internal damage.
5. Dirty or discolored gear oil
Dark, thick, or burnt-smelling transmission fluid is a strong indicator that your filter is no longer effective.
6. Warning lights
A check engine or transmission warning light may be triggered by gear oil flow issues linked to a clogged filter.
