How Many Kilometers Should You Change the Gear Oil for New Energy Vehicles?
1 Answers
For new energy vehicles, it is generally recommended to change the gear oil every 40,000 kilometers. Gear oil mainly refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles, differing from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Gear oil primarily serves to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for the gears. Characteristics of gear oil: 1. Gear oil is a lubricant designed to maintain the cleanliness of the transmission system, ensuring proper operation of the gearbox and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Failure to change the gear oil regularly can lead to: the formation of impurities due to chemical changes in the oil, causing blockages in the oil passages and affecting shifting performance. 3. Prolonged operation under high temperatures can reduce the lubricating properties of the gear oil, increasing the risk of clutch plate wear and resulting in stalling phenomena.
