Manual transmission fluid, commonly referred to as gear oil, comes in six models: GL-1, GL-2, GL-3, GL-4, GL-5, and GL-6. Here is some relevant information about manual transmission fluid: 1. Model Introduction: Manual transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, includes five grades: GL-1 to GL-5. GL-1 to GL-3 have higher performance requirements and are used for most lubrication purposes. GL-4 is used for lubrication under conditions of high speed with low torque or low speed with high torque. GL-5 offers the best performance and is used for transmission lubrication under severe operating conditions with high impact loads. 2. Selection of Transmission Fluid: The selection of automotive gear oil includes the following: general-purpose gear oil (GL-3), suitable for spiral bevel gear differentials, transmissions, and steering gears under mild operating conditions, such as the rear axle and transmission of the Jiefang CA1091 vehicle. The viscosity grades (SAE) correspond to 90, 80W/90, and 85W/90, suitable for year-round use in regions with temperatures ranging from -10°C to 20°C.
