Is Transmission Fluid the Same as Gearbox Oil?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid is indeed the same as gearbox oil. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. To keep the gear shifting system clean; 2. To lubricate the transmission components. Signs indicating the need for transmission fluid replacement include: 1. Vehicle shaking and gear shifting jerks; 2. Transmission overheating warning appearing on the dashboard; 3. Engine stalling; 4. Unusual noises. Methods for replacing transmission fluid are: 1. Gravity replacement - after loosening the fastening nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically drain out through the drain hole; 2. Machine circulation replacement - connecting the transmission and the circulation machine via pipe interfaces to push out the old fluid with new fluid; 3. Oil pan removal replacement.
