What Oil Should Be Added to the Transmission?
1 Answers
The oil added to the transmission is a specialized transmission oil, also known as gear oil. Here are a few differences between gear oil and engine oil: 1. Different Environments: Gear oil, or transmission oil, as the name suggests, is a transmission lubricant used in the transmission. It lubricates various gears in the transmission, reducer, and differential, operating in relatively low-temperature environments. Engine oil, or motor oil, is used inside the engine to lubricate internal components, enduring long-term high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, requiring higher oxidation resistance and stronger shear resistance. 2. Different Functions: Both have lubricating effects. Gear oil can prevent wear and sintering on gear surfaces, extending service life and improving power transmission efficiency. Engine oil can clean, lubricate, and cool the internal components of the engine.
