Is Steering Gear Oil the Same as Brake Oil?
1 Answers
Brake fluid and steering gear oil are not the same, so they cannot be mixed. Steering Gear Oil: Steering gear oil, also known as power steering fluid, is a special liquid used in the power steering pump of a car. Through hydraulic action, it makes the steering wheel very light to operate, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. Brake Fluid Replacement Time: If a car is driven in tropical regions, the brake fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Generally, car brake fluid needs to be replaced every two years. After prolonged use, the brake pump will experience varying degrees of wear, so it is better to replace the car's brake fluid.
