In theory gear oil lasts the life of the van :roll:

If the gearbox oil has done 100k miles, it will smell lovely. :wink:

As MinorMatt says, just replace it, it's not difficult and might give the gearbox a new lease on life. :mrgreen: Make sure you use the correct or better oil, they can be a bit temperamental with the oil used.
