How often should the gear oil be changed?
1 Answers
The gear oil should be changed approximately every 40,000 kilometers. The specific replacement interval should be based on the manufacturer's user manual. The service life of vehicle gear oil is related to factors such as the vehicle model, oil quality, usage conditions, and driving habits. Gear oil, also known as transmission oil, can be divided into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. Gear oil is primarily composed of petroleum lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. It is an important lubricant used in various gear transmission devices to prevent gear surface wear, scuffing, and seizing, thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency.
