Amo it's suggested that in a car that does a lot of short,stop start journeys,then the oil should be changed every 6 months or so.Changing the oil that often in the gearbox would just be a waste of time and money IMO.

After seeing the difference it made to my box I'll be changing at least every 2 services. I do 8k miles a year.

May change earlier depending how notchy she gets when the really cold days come.

Have to agree with Luke. I changed mine and it made a big difference to the gear change. Its quite an easy DIY job with the right tools and I'm going to change mine once or twice a year, as my car probably wont see 3k maybe 4k a year.

Due to the high forces (much higher than in the engine) in the gearbox which treats the oil quite bad it's no bad at all to change it regularly. Honda recommends changing it every 4 years. I'll do it every 2 years. More frequent is only useful in race cars.
