What is the model number of new energy vehicle gear oil?
1 Answers
New energy vehicle gear oil model is GL5-800. GL-5 is a heavy-duty gear oil suitable for differential gears and rear axle gears operating under extremely harsh conditions. Good viscosity is the most fundamental property of gear oil. Higher viscosity forms a thicker lubricating oil film with relatively greater load-bearing capacity. However, for gear oil, it is essential to strictly follow the vehicle's user manual to select the appropriate gear oil. If the viscosity is too high, it not only affects cold-start performance but also increases engine running resistance. If too low, it will accelerate bearing wear and reduce bearing lifespan. For automotive gear oil using scheduled oil changes, the replacement interval should be determined based on oil quality and operating conditions. Generally, the first oil change for new gears is around 1,500 km to promptly remove initial wear particles; the second is around 3,000 km; subsequent changes are approximately 16,000-24,000 km. Functions of gear oil: Lubricates the transmission system, reduces wear on gears and other moving parts, ensures normal operation of the transmission system, and extends service life. Minimizes friction and power loss in gear transmission, improving mechanical efficiency. Cools transmission components. During circulation lubrication, gear oil continuously carries away heat, dissipating it through air and transmission housing to ensure proper operation of transmission components. Prevents corrosion and rust. Gear oil has a cleaning effect, continuously washing away contaminants and solid particles adhering to gear surfaces.
