Is gear oil oil? What's the difference?

Answer:

Hello: gear oil is specially made, gear oil is based on petroleum lubricating oil, base oil or synthetic lubricating oil. It is a kind of important lubricating oil, which is made by adding extreme pressure antiwear agent and oiliness agent. The utility model is used for various gear transmission devices, so as to prevent tooth surface wear, abrasion and sintering, prolong the service life and improve the transmission power efficiency.The engine oil, that is, engine oil, can lubricate, clean, cool, seal and reduce the wear of the engine. Because there are a lot of friction moving metal surfaces in the engine, these components are moving fast and the environment is bad. The operating temperature can reach 400 degrees C to 600 degrees C. Therefore, the two can not be mixed, not confused.
Different grades, oil 30W, 40W and so on, while gear oil in general 90W, gear oil concentration is very large, very thick
Gear oil is different from engine oil. Gear oil is specially added to gear box to lubricate gears. The oil is specially used with the fuel according to a certain proportion, also known as fuel oil. So there's a difference. Let's take a friend, thanks!
