What is gearbox oil?
Gearbox oil is a special lubricant used to lubricate, cool, and protect the internal components of the transmission. Gears, bearings, and shafts in the gearbox continuously transfer power. The oil in the gearbox reduces friction and wear, dissipates heat, and protects against corrosion. Without the right oil, a transmission cannot function optimally, increasing the risk of damage.
Why good transmission oil is important
Good gearbox oil is crucial for the longevity and performance of your car. The right oil in the transmission ensures smooth shifting, reduced noise, and efficient power transfer. Poor or outdated oil can lead to rough shifting, excessive wear, and even costly transmission damage. By choosing high-quality gearbox oil, you can prevent unnecessary repairs and keep your car reliable, even under heavy use.
Choosing the right gearbox oil
Choosing the right gearbox oil depends on the type of transmission and the manufacturer's specifications. There are different types, such as manual transmission fluid (MTF), automatic transmission oil (ATF), and special oil for DSG and CVT transmissions. Viscosity and standards (such as API or OEM specifications) also play a crucial role. At CROP, our product specialists can easily help you find the right oil for your gearbox that perfectly suits your car.
DSG oil for Direct-Shift Gearbox
DSG oil is specially designed for cars with a Direct-Shift transmission, also known as DSG gearbox. This specific DSG transmission oil lubricates the mechanical components and ensures optimal operation of clutches and mechatronics, enabling smooth and quick shifting. Because a DSG transmission demands more than a standard manual or automatic gearbox, it is important to always use DSG gearbox oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. Regularly changing the oil extends the life of the gearbox and prevents wear or malfunctions, especially in vehicles with wet clutches. At CROP, you will find a wide range of top brands such as Petronas, Total, Shell, Castrol, and Liqui Moly.
When to change gearbox oil
The timing for changing gearbox oil varies depending on the car and usage. Signs that indicate the need to change transmission oil include difficult shifting, noises, or a burning smell. Many car manufacturers recommend changing gearbox oil between 60,000 and 120,000 kilometers, but for heavy use or older vehicles, earlier replacement may be wise. Regular maintenance prevents wear and extends the life of the transmission.
How to change gearbox oil
Changing gearbox oil can be done yourself with proper preparation. To properly change the oil in the transmission, follow the steps below.
- Raise the car safely and position it horizontally.
- Loosen the drain plug and let the old oil drain completely.
- Clean the drain plug and reinstall it.
- Fill with new gearbox oil according to the prescribed amount.
- Tighten the plug and check for leaks.
