Under normal circumstances, how often should gear oil be replaced?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, gear oil should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers to effectively improve the efficiency of power transmission from the engine to the gears. During high-speed driving, metal particles worn from gears, bearings, and other components will deposit in the gear oil. The rotation of the gears also raises the oil temperature. If not replaced for a long time, it can easily lead to transmission failure. Gear oil is the same as transmission oil. It reduces wear on gears and other moving parts, extends gear life, minimizes friction, reduces power loss, and dissipates heat to provide cooling. It also prevents corrosion and rust, reduces operating noise, minimizes vibrations, and lessens the impact between gears.
