What is Another Name for Transmission Oil?
1 Answers
Gear oil has different classifications and models. Transmission oil is one type of gear oil. Types of transmission oil: Transmission oil is generally divided into three types: manual transmission oil, automatic transmission oil, and continuously variable transmission oil. Manual transmission oil is commonly known as gear oil, automatic transmission oil is commonly referred to as ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), and continuously variable transmission oil is commonly called CVTF (Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid). Performance and maintenance methods of transmission oil: Transmission oil functions to reduce friction, minimize wear, control clutch friction, and optimize synchronizer performance. It also supports load-bearing (low-speed high torque, vibration loads), heat dissipation, vibration and noise reduction, and removes contaminants from gear meshing (cleaning function). Additionally, it prevents corrosion, pitting, and surface metal stripping by isolating metal surfaces to avoid direct contact. Transmission oil should be promptly replaced when experiencing symptoms such as vehicle shaking, gear shift hesitation, or a transmission overheating warning on the dashboard.
