What is the difference between LSD oil and gear oil?
1 Answers
LSD oil and gear oil differ in that gear oil serves a lubricating function, reducing friction between gears, while LSD oil has a certain friction effect, meaning it increases internal resistance through controlled friction to slow down or reduce displacement of friction pairs. Below are specific details about automotive gear oil and LSD oil: 1. Working environment of gear oil: Gear oil, also known as transmission oil, is used as a transmission lubricant in gearboxes, specifically for lubricating various gears in transmissions, reducers, and differentials, with relatively low working environment temperatures. 2. LSD oil: LSD oil, also called limited-slip differential oil, is a type of gear oil. However, compared to standard gear oil, gear oil used in limited-slip differentials has higher requirements, operates in more complex environments, and must withstand higher temperatures.
