Engine & Transmissions FAQ

Q. Can I use engine oil in my transmission?: A. Yes you can, but only advisable where the manufacturer states. For example you cannot use it in automatic transmission, but you can in powershift transmissions.
Q. Why does my automatic transmission work again when I change or clean the filter?: A. The filter is part of the oil system which in automatic transmissions is very important as the system is almost hydraulic and any blockages or debris cause internal leaks or reduced pressures causing the transmission not to drive.

Q. What does black smoke coming from the exhaust on my diesel engine mean?: A. Black smoke = Engine is probably over fuelling or is incorrectly timed.
