Why is Gear Oil So Important?

Your vehicle’s gearbox and transmission system work under high pressure, friction, and heat. Without proper lubrication, this leads to excessive wear, overheating, and costly repairs. Gear oil protects these internal parts, keeps shifting smooth, and ensures your car drives at its best.

Unlike engine oil, gear oil is specifically designed for the transmission, differentials, and manual gearboxes. Using the wrong type of oil can damage internal parts, cause rough shifting, and reduce fuel efficiency.

Common Issues from Wrong Gear Oil:
    •    Gearbox scuffing or grinding
    •    Pitting and corrosion of components
    •    Overheating
    •    Sudden transmission failure

How to Select the Right Gear Oil
When choosing gear oil, always consider these key points:
    •    Type of gearbox: Manual or automatic
    •    Viscosity grade: Refer to vehicle manual (e.g., SAE 75W-90)
    •    Operating conditions: Heavy load, city driving, or long distances
    •    Temperature tolerance: Especially important in hot regions like the UAE
    •    Additives: Some gear oils include anti-wear and anti-foam additives
