What is direct switch gear oil?

[OCarson]

Gear oil and transmission oil are essentially the same, but due to different systems where they are used, although the oil properties are quite similar, their application locations differ, hence the difference in naming. 1. Gear oil: Generally used in gear transmission mechanisms such as automobile steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. 2. Transmission oil: Transmission oil is a lubricant used to keep the vehicle's transmission clean. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission oil is divided into automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil. 3. Precautions: Since gear oils from different brands vary in grade and formulation, mixing gear oils from different brands and using them for a long time may alter the original properties of the gear oil, rendering it ineffective. Therefore, gear oils from different brands can only be used for short-term emergencies and should not be used for extended periods.
