Is Transmission Fluid the Same as Gearbox Oil?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid is indeed gearbox oil. Here are the key details about transmission fluid: 1. Function: It maintains the cleanliness of the gear system and lubricates transmission components. 2. Signs that transmission fluid needs replacement: Vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation; when the dashboard displays a transmission overheating warning, it's time to change the fluid. 3. Three methods for replacing transmission fluid: 1) Gravity drain: Loosen the drain plug nut at the bottom of the oil pan, allowing the fluid to flow out naturally. 2) Machine flush: Connect the transmission to a flushing machine via hoses to push new fluid through while removing the old. 3) Oil pan removal method.
