Gear oil is used in transmissions, reducers, steering gears and other parts, which can play a role in lubricating, reducing friction, reducing power loss, and reducing operating noise. Most gear oils are classified according to API performance and SAE viscosity. API performance is divided into 6 qualities: GL-1, GL-2, GL-3, GL-4, GL-5, GL-6 Grade, there will be a mark of this grade on the outer packaging of the gear oil. SAE viscosity is divided into 75W, 80W, 85W, 90, 140, 250 and other grades. The viscosity of W is winter gear oil, the viscosity without W is non-winter gear oil, and the number indicates that the gear oil is below 100 degrees Celsius. Viscosity. The smaller the number, the lower the viscosity of the gear oil and the better the low temperature performance.

Model and selection of gear oil

The gear oil model indicates the grade quality of the gear oil. The higher the grade the better the quality of the gear oil used in a vehicle, it is determined based on factors such as the type of gear of the vehicle, the working environment, and the operating speed. Car owners can choose gear oils according to the weather temperature. If the weather temperature is relatively high, they can consider gear oils with higher viscosity. If the weather temperature is lower, they can consider gear oils with lower viscosity. Owners can also choose gear oil according to the working conditions of the gear. If it is a normal gear, then you can choose a normal gear oil. If it is a quasi-hyperbolic gear, you must choose a hypoid gear oil. If the vehicle often works under high load conditions, it is recommended to choose a high type gear oil.

The gear oil replacement cycle is not fixed, and is mainly determined according to the model of the vehicle and the model of the gear oil. Generally speaking, the gear oil replacement cycle of automatic transmission vehicles is 50,000 kilometers to 80,000 kilometers or two years, and the gear oil replacement cycle of manual transmission vehicles is generally 100,000 kilometers or three years.
