What is the Function of Gear Oil?
1 Answers
Automotive gear oil serves multiple purposes including power transmission, lubrication, friction reduction, and noise reduction. Below are the specific functions of automotive gear oil: Power Transmission: It is used in gear transmission components such as transmissions, steering gears, and reducers. Lubrication: It reduces wear on gears and other moving parts, extending the lifespan of the gears. Friction Reduction: It minimizes power loss, dissipates heat, aids in cooling, lubricates gears and bearings, and prevents corrosion and rust. Noise Reduction: It reduces vibration and impact between gears, and also helps in cleaning contaminants, especially those on gear surfaces, thereby reducing wear.
