M32 gearbox oil change easy DIY transmission

There are a couple of things that you can do to improve the lifespan of your M32 gearbox transmission. The key thing is replacing the transmission oil regularly. No service interval is specified for the M32. However, I believe that it is essential if you want the M32 and its bearings to last.
You should pick a good synthetic oil and replace it every 30,000 miles.
Make sure the M32 gearbox is filled to a correct level (slightly overfilled is fine too). Underfilling the M32 gearbox is a recipe for bearing failure.
Another thing that you could do to prolong the life expectancy of the M32 gearbox bearings is to adjust your driving habits to avoid heavy acceleration in 6th and 5th gear to reduce the load on the 6th gear bearing. This is particularly important in diesel cars, which have a lot of torque.
If you’ve already browsed through internet forums in search of information about the M32 gearbox, you might have heard that overfilling the transmission makes it last longer because of improved lubrication of the 6th gear bearing.
The oil capacity of the M32 gearbox is 2.4 litres. Filling it up to 2.8 litres is okay and may actually help. However, before you do anything, please double check what the correct oil quantity in your car should be.
