Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that gear oil needs changing?
Common signs include noisy gear changes, whining or grinding sounds, difficulty shifting, or visible leaks. Burnt-smelling or discoloured oil also indicates contamination or breakdown. Regular inspections help identify these issues early, ensuring gears remain well-lubricated and mechanical performance stays consistent and reliable under load.
What is the difference between mineral and synthetic gear oil?
Mineral gear oil is refined from crude oil and suits standard conditions. Synthetic gear oil is chemically engineered for enhanced performance, providing better temperature stability, oxidation resistance, and longer service life. Many modern vehicles and industrial systems prefer synthetic oils for superior protection and extended maintenance intervals.
Why do differentials require special gear oil?
Differentials handle extreme pressure and friction between gears. Special gear oils, often containing additives like sulphur-phosphorus compounds or limited-slip friction modifiers, protect these components from wear and overheating. The correct oil ensures smooth power transfer between wheels, especially during tight turns or uneven traction conditions.
