What is the purpose of transmission oil?
1 Answers
The purpose of transmission oil is: to lubricate and prolong the service life of transmission components, resist low temperatures, provide highly effective lubrication even at low temperatures, and reduce oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Transmission oil is added to the gearbox; without it, the internal gears would experience dry friction, leading to gear wear. Both automatic and manual transmissions require transmission oil. Transmission oil is divided into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. The function of manual transmission oil is to lubricate gears and bearings, while automatic transmission oil not only lubricates gears but also serves as a hydraulic transmission medium. Gear oil is used to lubricate transmission gears, and in the case of automatic transmission oil for automatic vehicles, it also plays a role in transmitting power.
