How often do you do transmission fluid change on the 2016 model?
I heard it’s a closed unit and so you can’t do it. Is that real?
I saw a video of transmission fluid change on a 2008 model so was confused...

Two different transmission altogether. 451is a manual transmission. With a gear box. The 453 is a dual clutch automatic. Check your owners manual for the scheduled transmission maintance. Give the dealer a call too. Some of modern transmission, require the first maintance over 100 K miles. I have 2 other cars brands, the automatics are sealed. There isnt even a transmission filter to change.

The 453 manual, you can change the gear oil. He’s got a dual clutch automatic.

For the 453 Smart with an automatic transmission...

You need 1.7 liters of MB 235.73 fluid...

Dealer said it’s a closed unit and it doesn’t need it.. sounds weird, but not gonna argue..

Yup a 6spd dual clutch Getrag transmission. Change to Valvoline automatic transmission fluid +5 with the MB ANSI rating on the back. Stuff is expensive, but better than paying MB.

Transmission/Transaxle Sealed and do not changed oil is BS. Preventive maintenance is cheaper and easy to change the transaxle oil and extend the life of Transaxle. Give your SMART some TLC and it will go the extra mile for you.
