What kind of oil is steering oil?
1 Answers
Steering oil is actually hydraulic oil, with a crucial indicator being its low-temperature fluidity. Introduction to Hydraulic Oil: Hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy. It plays roles in energy transmission, wear resistance, system lubrication, anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and cooling within the hydraulic system. For hydraulic oil, it must first meet the viscosity requirements of the hydraulic equipment at both operating and starting temperatures. Since changes in the viscosity of lubricating oil are directly related to hydraulic action, transmission efficiency, and precision, the oil's viscosity-temperature performance and shear stability must also meet various demands posed by different applications. Oil Change Interval: Generally, automobile manufacturers do not strictly specify the interval for changing steering oil. Most automotive maintenance and repair shops refer to other service providers in the industry, learning from each other to improve. To prevent the steering oil from becoming excessively dirty or deteriorating due to other factors, it is recommended to change the steering oil every 40,000 kilometers or every 2-3 years.
