Oil and Lubricants- Understanding a Few Key Aspects

Importance of Transmission Fluids

Lubricants play a pivotal role in transmission systems. The transmission fluid applied reduces friction between moving parts and prevents wear and tear. The right lubricant applied facilitates heat dissipation and prevents overheating and damage to sensitive parts, thus boosting the overall performance and reliability of the machinery.

Performance Enhancement

High-quality transmission fluids act as a protective barrier between valves, gears, shift levers, and other components. These lubricants meet the demanding requirements of modern transmissions and ensure smooth operation. By forming a thin film over surfaces, the lubricants minimise metal-to-metal contact, facilitate improved shifting characteristics, and reduce transmission noise.

Extended Drain Intervals

One of the main advantages of premium transmission fluid is its extended drain intervals. Valvoline's Syn GardTM 668 ATF is engineered for long-term stability and service over extended periods of time. This not only helps you save maintenance costs but also ensures minimal downtime for vehicles and equipment, which further maximises productivity and efficiency.

Maintenance and Performance

To ensure peak performance of transmission systems, regular monitoring and replacement of lubricants and transmission fluids are essential. This entails an assessment of fluid levels, frequent analysis of oil, and changing fluids as per schedule. Accurate practices ensure seamless power transmission, prevent costly breakdowns, and significantly reduce mechanical wear. This, in turn, makes transmission systems last longer and work better.
