Vehicle owners should be aware of the replacement cycle of various oils on cars, and some common oils should also know their uses and precautions. As far as the brake fluid is concerned, the brake fluid is also called brake fluid, which is indispensable in the brake system. Generally speaking, the brake fluid should be changed once every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, otherwise it will affect its performance. When the brake fails, it will be troublesome.
In addition, the gearbox oil on the car is also very important. One of us, the gearbox is one of the three major parts. If there is a problem, it is very troublesome to repair. Many masters in 4s shops may not repair the gearbox. Therefore, when car owners usually use the car, the maintenance of the gearbox is very important. So, how often do you change the transmission oil? Car repairer: Remember these numbers, it is not good to change early or late.
The function of gearbox oil is actually the same as engine oil. The basic function is lubrication to prevent the internal parts of the gearbox from being worn. Therefore, if the gearbox oil is not replaced for a long time and deteriorates, the gears inside the gearbox cannot be protected and are easily damaged during operation. In this way, the frustration will be very obvious when shifting up and down. Data shows that about 80% of gearbox failures are caused by the failure to replace the gearbox oil in time.
And in terms of the replacement cycle, there are two types of automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid. First of all, the internal structure of the automatic gearbox is relatively more complicated, and it integrates many high-tech configurations, so pay attention to the gearbox oil replacement cycle. Generally, it needs to be replaced about 50,000 kilometers, and some 40,000 kilometers. However, according to different models and the regulations in the maintenance manual, the replacement period is slightly different. However, it is best not to exceed 60,000 kilometers, otherwise the performance will be reduced. Will cause the gearbox to be scrapped early.
For manual gearboxes, due to the simpler internal structure, the role of the transmission oil is also more single, generally it has a lubricating effect, unlike the automatic transmission oil. The role of “transmitting force”. Therefore, the replacement cycle of manual transmission oil should be longer, generally there is no problem to replace about 100,000 kilometers. Some manufacturers claim that they can "not change for life". Although they say that, car owners should also pay attention to the amount of transmission fluid during maintenance. If it is less, it should be refilled in time.
Therefore, how often the gearbox oil is changed? The car repairer said that remembering these numbers, it is not good to change it sooner or later. It is not advisable to change the transmission oil early, after all, it costs money to change it once. Some 4s shops recommend that car owners change the automatic transmission fluid for 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. In fact, this is completely unnecessary. Frequent replacement is not only useless, but also a waste of money. 4s shops definitely hope that car owners will change it frequently. In contrast, what do you think?
