I have changed gear oil every 3 years. Still got the original box go bad at 250Mm.

So I would not risk it.

CSC is Concentric Slave Cylinder. It's the hydraulic part that engages and releases the clutch. Used to be called the thrust bearing.

Even tho I have changed the gearbox oil every 3 years I still had the box go bad at 250,000 km so I would not trust the gear oil to last for the lifetime of the car.
