What kind of oil should be added to the transmission?
1 Answers
The oil added to the transmission is specialized transmission oil, also known as gear oil. The following are the differences between gear oil and engine oil: 1. Different environments. Gear oil, also known as transmission oil, is used in the transmission as the name suggests. It is a transmission lubricating oil used for lubricating various gears in the transmission, reducer, and differential, and operates in an environment with relatively low temperatures; Engine oil, on the other hand, is used inside the engine to lubricate internal components, operating in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for long periods, requiring higher oxidation resistance and stronger shear resistance. 2. Different functions. Both have lubricating effects. Gear oil can prevent wear and sintering on the gear surface, extend the service life, and improve power transmission efficiency; Engine oil can clean, lubricate, and cool the internal components of the engine.
