Does the Hyundai Oshan X7 require regular transmission oil changes, and is it available in Pakistan?

I want to ensure long-term performance of the DCT in my Oshan X7, but I’m unsure about the maintenance schedule for the transmission. Does the transmission require periodic oil changes? If so, after how many kilometers? And is the correct DCT fluid easily available at authorized service centers in Pakistan?

Yes—the X7 uses a unique transmission fluid for its wet 7-speed DCT. According to local automotive forums:

“You need to change the fluid of your transmission regularly… check smell, color and level… after each 1600 km… change every year o r when they complete… 80,000 km.”

Best practices:

Check fluid smell, color, and level monthly o r at each service.

Replace per owner manual—typically every 60,000–80,000 km, o r annually.

Use genuine Changan DCT fluid, which is generally available at authorized service centers.

Summary Table
Issue Cause Solution
Jerky o r delayed shifting at low speeds DCT behavior, software calibration TCU reset/calibration, fluid service, smooth throttle use
Engagement delay from Neutral ECU/TCU settings, clutch wear Diagnostic scan, recalibration, check clutch pack
Overheating risk Wet DCT is resilient, but heavy load adds stress Proper fluid maintenance, avoid aggressive driving in traffic
Grinding/clicking noise Clutch pack, gear sync, software issues Service inspection, TCU updates
Fluid change requirement Wet DCT demands specific fluid maintenance Follow recommended intervals, use genuine fluid at authorized shops

Owner Tips:
Document and report any transmission hesitations o r noises during the 5‑year/150,000 km warranty period—Changan covers these issues.

Keep a service log with fluid checks and replacements.

Avoid aggressive throttle in city traffic and ensure regular software updates and calibrations from your dealer.
