What kind of oil should be added to the transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmissions require specialized automatic transmission fluid (ATF); manual transmissions use gear oil. Below is relevant information about transmissions: 1. Overview: A transmission is a mechanism that alters the speed and torque from the engine. It can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts in stages, also known as a gearbox. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also featuring a power take-off mechanism. Most transmission mechanisms use ordinary gear drives, while some employ planetary gear systems. 2. Explanation: When selecting transmission oil, it is advisable to choose high-quality branded vehicle transmission oil for two main benefits: (1) It effectively protects gears, reduces wear, makes vehicle operation smoother, and saves fuel. (2) It extends the service life of the oil, reducing maintenance and repair costs.
