Reduction gear oil flush

Many Tesla owners think that Tesla does not need to change any oil and oil filters. In fact, oil is often found in the motor gearbox and must be changed regularly. We recommend changing every 50,000 miles. If not changed regularly, the gear oil will break down, allowing friction and grinding of gear components, resulting in unnecessary wear and costly repairs.
