Quite simply, oil is the most important thing or part of your engine and all moving parts, like the transmission and differentials !.
In my day, new cars had their oil changed after only a minimal amount of use - the reasons to me are obvious - greases, lubricants, foreign bodys, bedding in wear fragments etc etc all from the build process ( new vehicle engines can get "things" from the build process, like hair, dust, insects who knows, but 100% they have the build lubricants still there) .
With service intervals getting stupid - our Volkswagen Tcross was not requested back to the dealer for 20000km or 2 years !! - check out our change of that oil after 7K.
So we changed FIAT Panda's oil after 1600km (600 LATER THAN WE WANTED) and sending it off for testing (check those episodes out)
As we are punishing our new FIAT Panda off road, is makes sense to do the differentials and the transmission - on our 2021 Panda, the front transmission and differential are combined, so we only have one to do - winner !
The oil is a different story - having confirmed the correct grade (handbook / on line / forums etc) we purchased the correct grade from our local trade supplier - they confirmed this oil with our VIN number ..... but. ....
The photo and wording stated axle oil, no transmission mentioned ! being a fussy sort of bloke, I emailed Bilstein and received a reply as shown in the episone (pause it) stating their oil is NOT suitable for a 2021 FIAT Panda 4x4 ?? and advised the licenced and approved FIAT oil only, stating additives were the issue.
Tutela oil has arrived from Italy (dam expensive, but found at 1/2 the price on line rather than the main dealer here in Portugal - it was mental money).
Also confirmed the grade with Petronas Technical (Tutela / Selenia are their names for oils) just to quadruple check :)
So let's crack on & being novices, a surprise awaits us ......
