How often should gear oil be changed?
1 Answers
Gear oil should generally be changed every 40,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details about gear oil: 1. Composition: Gear oil is primarily made from petroleum-based lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents to form an important type of lubricating oil. 2. Function: It is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scratches, sintering, etc., thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency. 3. Characteristics: Gear oil should possess excellent anti-wear and load-bearing properties, as well as appropriate viscosity. Additionally, it should have good thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention capabilities.
