Importance of gearbox oils for your car

The gearbox mechanisms of automotive vehicles function with the continuous operations of internal metal parts of the gear systems. These internal components engage together repeatedly which causes friction and heating. In case a lubricating film is not facilitated between these components, the gear system mechanical parts can get rusty, lose performance, and can get worn out, causing transmission problems and gearbox damage. Transmission oils for automotive vehicles are specifically formulated to facilitate and lubricate the working of the gears while preventing the mechanical parts from rust, wear and tear.

What happens if you don’t change your car’s gear oil?

Gearbox lubricants play a crucial role in keeping your vehicle’s gear systems functioning. Gearbox lubrication facilitates the operations of automatic transmissions, manual gearboxes, differentials, transaxles in all types of vehicles such as passenger cars and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Excessive heat emitted from the engine and transmission can damage or reduce the operational characteristics of gear reducer systems subjecting your vehicle to more maintenance and repairing expenses. Furthermore, not lubricating your vehicle’s gear mechanisms can result in gears hardening, noise during gear shifting, scouring, corrosion, scuffing and unexpected mechanical malfunctions. Gear reducer oils and lubricants are of extreme importance as they aid in the prevention of critical components deterioration, fatigue, wear and heat damage.

When to know that gear oil should be changed?

There are many warning signs that can indicate the need for a gearbox oil change. The most common indicators include driving more than 48,000Km or 30,000 miles without a gear oil change, in case of manual transmission vehicle. And driving more than 96,000km or 60,000 miles without changing your gearbox oil. Furthermore, a gear shift heartening can be experienced or noise from the gearbox can be heard indicating it's time to change your car gear oil.
