Problem: Changing the oil on an automatic transmission
Solution: Liqui Moly’s Gear Tronic
Assessment: Just a few years ago, changing the oil on automatic transmissions was time-consuming and complicated. Liqui Moly designed Gear Tronic help independent workshops perform a fully automatic oil change for torque converter transmissions, CVTs and DSGs. Gear Tronic III is the latest generation from Liqui Moly. The proportion of vehicles with an automatic transmission is growing worldwide. Even in countries where manual shifting was very widespread, it is on the decline. Just as the popularity of the automatic transmission concept is increasing, so is the need for service.
The new Gear Tronic III device shines with a number of improvements compared to its predecessor: a robust 7-inch colour touchscreen with enhanced display provides a better overview. The work instructions are also displayed there, including the correct adapters and pictures from practice on the vehicle connections. The complete vehicle database with more than 2000 vehicle models and all the information is now right on the device. Additional data carriers and logins to other systems have now been eliminated, simplifying the process.
Networking also offers other benefits: the servicing data can be sent directly to the printer or to an e-mail address of the workshop via wifi. Regular and free updates will also be installed automatically via the internet in the future.
