What Type of Oil is Used for Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid is gear oil, also known as transmission oil. Below is an introduction to the functions of gear oil: 1. It is a type of transmission lubricating oil used for lubricating various gears in transmissions, reducers, and differentials. 2. It helps prevent phenomena such as gear surface wear and sintering. 3. It extends service life and improves power transmission efficiency. Below is an introduction to the differences between gear oil and engine oil: 1. Different environments: Gear oil is a transmission lubricating oil used for lubricating various gears in transmissions, reducers, and differentials, operating in relatively low-temperature environments; engine oil is used inside the engine to lubricate internal components, enduring long-term high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, with higher oxidation resistance and stronger shear resistance. 2. Different functions: Gear oil prevents gear surface wear and sintering, extends service life, and improves transmission efficiency; engine oil cleans, lubricates, and cools the engine interior. 3. Both have lubricating properties, with engine oil being weakly alkaline and gear oil being strongly alkaline.
