AoA. Eid Mubarak to all.

I purchased a second hand Wagon R vxl 40k km driven.

Today I experienced a bit hardness in shifting to gear 1 and reverse gear occasionally in a 30km drive.

I don't have any history available that when was gear oil etc changed.

What could be the reason.
And does wagon r have transmission oil too.

When is gear oil and transmission oil changed

Gear oil = transmission oil

All cars that have a gearbox have transmission oil... Its for the gears lubrication and very important.

Gear\trans oil is usually recommended to be replaced at evry 40k km
U will have to review the user manual to be more confirmed.

Pls check the condition of the gear oil. However u should still replace it irrespective of condition to be safe because u don't have its previous history.

Pak Suzuki have SAE-90 Gear Oil available at every dealership for Wagon R. They recommend this one to everyone. Do NOT get that. Most of the people use that and then complain that gears are hard.

As mentioned in the Owner's Manual of this car, the recommended grades are, in decreasing order of preference:

75W-80 (Preferably, but difficult to find!)
75W-85
75W-90

Note that these grades will be expensive compared to the one that Pak Suzuki is pouring in.

Get new gear oil
75w80 is recommended grade
Will share packing pic for you
Only get that

2.2L is rated quantity
Also your coolant and brake oil change is due at 40k
Please change all three

Thank you. Where can I get this gear oil.

I checked coolant and brake oil level they were perfect. Do I need to replace still?

Call dealerships and confirm whether they have 75w80 in stock or not
If available on any dealership, go and change
If 75w80 is out of stock they insist on sae 90 don't pour that please

Yes
Same as engine oil needs to be replaced after 5k kms if oil level is perfect
Brake oil is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture and needs to be replaced every 2 years/40k kms whichever comes 1st
Coolant looses its anti rust properties hence needs o be replaced
Product recommendation, you can either get suzuki geniune brake oil and coolant, or after market like seiken or toyota dot 3 brake oil with caltex concentrate coolant, pour in 50:50 with distilled water
