2 Answers
UY gear oil should generally be changed every 60,000 kilometers. The specific details are as follows: 1. Purpose of replacement: It can effectively improve the efficiency of gear transmission of engine power. 2. Replacement interval: Mainly based on mileage or usage time. If the vehicle manual clearly provides these two indicators, the earlier one must be followed. Information about gear oil is as follows: 1. Gear oil: (Gear-oil) is a type of lubricating oil mainly composed of petroleum lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil, with the addition of extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. 2. Function: Gear oil mainly lubricates gears and bearings, prevents wear and corrosion, helps dissipate heat from gears, and is used in various gear transmission devices to extend their service life and improve power transmission efficiency.
I've been driving my old car for several years now, and I'm particularly concerned about the gear oil. Transmission fluid is crucial for vehicle protection. For manual transmission cars, it's recommended to change it every 40,000-60,000 kilometers, while for automatic transmissions, changing it every 60,000-80,000 kilometers is more prudent. If you frequently drive on mountain roads or enjoy rapid acceleration, you should change it even more frequently. A neighbor of mine who works at a repair shop mentioned that deteriorated oil can contain metal shavings, which accelerate gear wear. Last time I had a check-up at 30,000 kilometers, the mechanic used a special testing pen and found the acid value exceeded the standard, so it was replaced immediately. Don’t just focus on the mileage; driving habits and environment should also be considered. If you’re often stuck in traffic or live in a cold region, you should change it earlier. For specifics, you can refer to the maintenance manual—manufacturer recommendations are the most reliable.
