Gearbox Actuator Fluid/Oil for 508 SW 1.6 e-HDi 2013

Unread post by Shpetan »

Hi everyone.

Recently I changed my transmission fluid on the gearbox and the oil i used was MOTUL Gear SAE 75W-80 Technosynthese. The reason for doing so was because it felt like the transmission wasnt changing gears in a smooth way. After the change it became night and day difference. Especially going from around Gear 2 to 6. Shifting from Gear 1 to 2 is still sometimes a little bit iffy. Could be because of me still not being used to how to properly accelerate, especially when braking suddenly and then accelerating. Triptronic cars usually dont like that i think.

Nonetheless I am specifically looking for oil to replace the actuator and obviously not the transmission itself. People get confused and they dont know what i mean by that. Most workshops too even Peugeot workshop here where i live in sweden. So im turning my head here, hoping for some answers on how to search and possibly find the right one for my car.

My car is a: Peugeot 508 SW 1.6 e-HDi EGS 9HD (DV6CTED) 115hp, 2013. TecDoc ID is: 12961. If also needed, the VIN is: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Do you by any chance have the steps for it? Since its the Actuator I think it requires some steps with bleeding all that stuff. Maybe its not entirely recommended if im just aiming for the gears to maybe shift better since its not new oil in there obviously. Peugeot workshop here in Sweden only recommended to just flush the old, in with the new.
