Range Rover Velar Gearbox Oil Change Dubai

At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in providing high-quality automotive services to ensure your vehicle operates at its best. Recently, we completed a gearbox oil change on a Range Rover Velar and identified several underlying issues during the process. We’ve outlined the issues we found and the effective solutions we provided to ensure the gearbox is in optimal condition.

Issues Found During Gearbox Oil Change:

1. Old and Contaminated Gearbox Oil: The gearbox oil was found to be old, contaminated with metal shavings, and no longer providing sufficient lubrication for the internal components.
   Solution:
   We performed a complete oil change, flushing out the old, contaminated oil and replacing it with fresh, high-quality gearbox oil. This ensures smooth operation, better protection against wear, and enhanced performance.
2. Low Oil Levels: Upon inspection, we discovered that the gearbox oil levels were significantly low, which can cause friction, overheating, and long-term damage to the gearbox components.
   Solution:
   We topped up the oil to the manufacturer’s recommended levels, ensuring adequate lubrication and cooling for the gearbox system, helping to prevent overheating and potential failure.
3. Clogged Oil Filter: The oil filter was found to be clogged with debris and contaminants, reducing the effectiveness of the oil and leading to potential blockages in the system.
   Solution:
   We replaced the clogged oil filter with a new one, ensuring that only clean oil circulates through the gearbox, protecting the components from further damage and improving overall efficiency.
4. Wear on Gearbox Seals: The gearbox seals were showing signs of wear, potentially leading to oil leaks and further contamination of the gearbox system.
   Solution:
   We replaced the worn seals to prevent any oil leaks, ensuring the system remains sealed and that the new oil is contained, providing optimal protection for the gearbox.
5. Signs of Gear Slippage: During the oil change, we noticed slight signs of gear slippage, which can be a result of old oil and improper fluid pressure.
   Solution:
   After replacing the oil and cleaning the system, we ran diagnostic tests to ensure proper fluid pressure and shifting performance. This resolved the gear slippage issue, restoring smooth gear transitions and optimal power delivery.
