When to change the gearbox oil?

Hi, I have a 2017 1.6 diesel with automatic dog gear box with 150000km, when should I change the gearbox oil? I bought it secondhand with a partial service history so I’m not sure if dog oil was changed before. Thanks John

Our answer:

Hi John,

You've not told us the make or model of your car, though we suspect you mean the DSG gearbox, so that would mean a Volkswagen Group product. It's usually the seven-speed DSG with the smaller engines, which is officially sealed for life. If that's not what you're talking about, come back to us with full vehicle details and we'll try to help.
