Transmission oils - Oils

Transmission oil (gear oil) is a lubricant designed for use in automatic and manual transmissions, power steering systems, transfer cases, gearboxes, axles, and differentials of vehicles.

The purpose of transmission oil is to ensure smooth gear operation, protect the internal components of the transmission from wear and overheating, and clean the parts.

Oil for automatic transmissions is labeled as ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluids).

When should you replace the transmission oil?

Transmission oil should be replaced every 80,000–100,000 kilometers or every 6–8 years. Refer to your vehicle’s user manual for exact recommendations.

Experts in automatic transmissions recommend performing the first transmission oil change after a maximum of 60,000 kilometers and then every 30,000 kilometers thereafter.

Why is it important to replace the transmission oil?

• Oil deteriorates due to friction and high temperatures (e.g., during high-speed drives, traffic jams, or heavy loads), gradually losing its properties.

• Over time, oil ages. The shelf life of transmission oils, as indicated by manufacturers, is 5 years. However, this refers to storage in unopened packaging. In operation, oil typically has a shorter lifespan.

• During use, oil mixes with water vapor from the air, leading to a decline in its effectiveness.

• Operating oil can also mix with metal shavings generated by gear friction. Even the highest-quality materials and oils cannot prevent this. Metal shavings floating in the oil can damage transmission components.

Therefore, the longer you delay replacing the oil, the worse its properties become.
