How Often Should the Gear Oil of a Scooter Be Changed?

[CatherineLynn]

Scooter gear oil generally needs to be changed every 2,000-3,000 kilometers. For higher-end models, it can be changed every 5,000 kilometers or more. Unlike engine oil, as long as there is oil in the gearbox, the bearings and gears inside will be fine, since the gearbox does not generate much heat and only requires lubrication. Additional Information: 1. Gear oil is a high-viscosity lubricant specifically designed to protect power transmission components, often characterized by a strong sulfur odor. 2. Vehicle gear oil is classified by performance and viscosity. Currently, the API (American Petroleum Institute) performance classification and U.S. military gear oil specifications are widely adopted worldwide. Most manual transmission lubricants and differentials use hypoid gear oil, which contains extreme pressure (EP) additives and anti-wear additives to handle the action of hypoid bevel gears.
