Oil and fat

BOX OIL & GRASSE: ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR CAR WITHOUT

Thebox and the fat are the most important elements to ensure the good mechanical health of a car-free car. They ensure the lubrication of the gears, bearings and axes of the transmission, reduce wear, prevent overheating and guarantee silent operation. Neglecting the choice of an adapted oil or grease can cause long-term operating noises, yield losses and even mechanical breashes.

Why the box of box is-She indispensable?

In a gearbox, the gears are constantly in contact and transmit significant efforts. Box oil forms a protective film that reduces friction, dissipates heat and limits wear. It also prevents the oxidation of internal parts and protects against corrosion. For a car without a license, which often rolls in urban areas with many stops/Restarts, the quality of the transmission oil plays an even more crucial role.

Main functions of box of box

• Lubrication : Reduces the friction between the teeth of the gables and avoids their heating.
• Cooling : Evacue the heat generated by the transmission.
• Protection : Prevents oxidation and corrosion of internal elements.
• Cleaning : Transports impurities to the bottom of the housing or filter when present.

Transmission fat: complement of maintenance

In addition to the box of box, some parts of the transmission require a specific grease : Broozons, joints, joints, or some parts of the drive and exposed bearings. The fat forms a thicker barrier than the oil and remains in place, even in slow rotation or in vertical position. It is ideal for elements not completely immersed in oil.

Advantages of adapted fat

• High grip : Stay in place despite the vibrations.
• Long-term protection : Ideal for hard-to-reach parts.
• Resistance to water : Prevents corrosion even in case of moisture.
• Noise reduction : Limit cracks and squeaks.

When to replace the box of box on a car without a license?

The periodicity of drain depends on the use of the vehicle, but it is generally recommended to replace box oil every 5,000 to 10,000 km, or at least once a year for vehicles used very regularly. Oil too old loses its properties: it becomes more fluid, gets fucked and protects the components less well. In case of leakage or unusual noise, it is recommended to make the empty immediately.

Alert signs indicating a need for drain

• Rolling or cracking noises during accelerations.
• Difficulty involving reverse.
• Visible oil leak at the crankcase or joints.
• Presence of filings during the last drain (glittering oil).

Choosing your oil and its box

It is imperative to respect the recommendations of the manufacturer of your car without a license. Oils are distinguished by their grade of viscosity (eg 75W-90), their API standard (GL-4 or GL-5), and their formulation (mineral, semi-synthetic, synthetic). Use an inadequate oil may cause the box to malfunction or accelerate sync wear.

Criteria of choice

• Viscosity : adapted to the temperature conditions and the specifications of the box.
• Oil type : Privilege quality oil, often synthetic, for long-term protection.
• Chemical compatibility : some aggressive oils (GL-5) Are not suitable for boxes with brass sync.
• Reliable : Choose lubricants recommended by VSP professionals.

Simple procedure to drain its gearbox

• Place the vehicle on a flat and secure floor.
• Disassemble the drain plug and allow all used oil to flow.
• Replace the plug seal if necessary.
• Fill with new oil to the recommended level.
• Check the absence of leakage and perform a short road test.

Full maintenance kit

To simplify the operation, you can opt for a Car maintenance kit without license, including box oil, filters and sometimes the necessary joints. This ensures optimal result and prevent you from forgetting an important consumable.

Good practices to extend the life of your transmission

• Regularly check the level of box oil and supplement if necessary.
• Use a suitable fat for non-lubricated oil parts.
• Avoid overloads and brutal cold starts.
• Immediately replace defective joints to prevent loss of lubricant.
• Perform a visual check of the crankcase and transmission media.
