Answers:

Can i use a bicycle repair kit to fix a hole in a radiator hose on a car?

It depends on the application (like so many questions posed here, your owners manual provides the answer). Many makes have a 30k mile interval, some are 50k, some are 100k and some recommend never servicing the transmission fluid. Then there are makes like GM where every one of the intervals I justed listed applies depending on which specific model you have.

I assume you refer to transmission fluid that is in the gearbox, diff or rear axle. Check your user manual for service details. Most transmission fluid is drained and changed at 50,000 miles. Changing more frequent than listed in the service manual is a waste of money.

If your question refers to engine oil:
Engine oil renewal is dependant upon type of car and type of oil [ synthetic or oil based]. Engine oil change could be 3,000miles or 25,000miles depending upon oil type and vehicle type. Again check your user manual. Alternatively phone the main dealer and if the 'service dept' would give the service details . most usually freely give the information.
