How long can a transmission last with poor quality transmission oil?

The gearbox is one of the most important parts of a car. However, many car owners overlook the choice of quality transmission oil, leading to serious damage and large repair costs. So if you use poor quality transmission oil, how long can the transmission last? Find out with Gartz in the article below.

1. What effects does poor quality gear oil have?

Gearbox oil is not simply a lubricant but also plays a role in transmitting power, cooling and protecting the details inside the gearbox. If substandard oil is used, the gearbox may encounter the following problems:

- Operating temperatures increase, causing the oil to quickly burn and lose its lubricating effect
- Internal parts are worn out, leading to gear slippage, gear jamming, and shifting gears that are not smooth
- The lifespan of the gearbox is shortened, perhaps only half or one-third of its normal level
 

2. Real-life example of using poor quality gear oil

A popular sedan using poor quality transmission oil, after operating about 50,000 km, begins to show the following signs:

- Slight jerking when shifting gears
- The car screeches when accelerating

- The gearbox makes a strange noise

When checking at the garage, the technician discovered that the gearbox oil had burned, changed color and formed deposits, causing serious wear of the parts in the gearbox. 

The cost of repair and restoration is nearly 40 million VND, while the cause only comes from using an oil type that is not suitable for continuous urban operating conditions.
