Every Garage Should Know: How to Choose the Right Gear Oil?

Choosing the right transmission oil helps increase vehicle life, protect the transmission and maintain the reputation of the garage. Let's learn about the criteria for choosing the right gear oil.

1. Why does the garage need to pay attention to gear oil?

Transmission oil plays a key role in driving, cooling and lubricating the transmission. If the wrong type or low quality is used, the consequences can be:

The transmission slips and jerks when shifting gears

Increases mechanical wear, reduces gearbox life

The car consumes more fuel

The garage lost its reputation because customers returned to complain

Therefore, choosing the right type of transmission oil is survival factor for each garage.

2. How to distinguish common types of gear oils

Depending on the type of gearbox, the oil used must also correspond to:

Automatic transmission (AT): Use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) oil

Continuously variable transmission (CVT): Use CVTF oil (CVT Fluid), especially with suitable friction for pulleys

Dual clutch transmission (DCT): Needs high wear-resistant DCTF (Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid) oil

Note: Do not use the same oil between transmission types, even if they "look alike".

3. Criteria for choosing standard gear oil for the garage

a. Determine the correct type of vehicle transmission

Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully to choose a compatible oil.

b. Choose products that are heat resistant and friction stable

Gearbox oil operates under high pressure and high heat conditions. The product needs to have long-term stability to protect the gearbox.

c. Priority is given to oils with international standards

Find indicators like ATF SP-IV, DEXRON VI, CVTF, DCTF to ensure oil meets global quality.

d. Ensure clear origin and reputable brand

Garages should cooperate with genuine suppliers to avoid the risk of purchasing fake or poor quality goods.
