I have had a 2014-built 500 TwinAir 0.9L Dualogic for about a year.
The service schedule in the manual and the service booklet have vague passages, and I wonder if anyone can help clarify this.
1. The schedule mentions "check gearbox control oil level" at 90,000 km and 180,000 km. I assume this is for the transmission oil (the gearbox itself, not the hydraulic fluid for Dualogic). There is no item to replace the oil. Does it mean this is a "lifetime" oil that doesn't need replacement?
2. Even weirder one - the schedule says: "Check clutch fluid level - Dual Logic(sic) system if fitted", and instead of mileage intervals, it says: "Change fluid every 30,000 km or 12 months". This doesn't make any sense to me, as the Dualogic fluid replacement appears to be a major procedure involving specialised equipment to bleed the system. It doesn't sound like a typical annual service item.
Does anyone have a longer experience with servicing a similar vehicle to clarify what these mean?
Thank you.
