Transmissions are among the most important components in vehicles

In order for transmissions to function properly, they should be protected and maintained, with Liqui Moly explaining that high-quality transmission fluids such as those it supplies playing a central role here.
Gear oils are special lubricants used exclusively in vehicle transmissions. They play a decisive role in the durability and trouble-free functioning of the transmission.
Failure to change gear oils in time can cause problems. Contamination or abrasion particles that accumulate in the oil over time lead to increased wear of the gears.
In addition, water can penetrate in the course of time, for example due to condensation or leaks.
Gear oils can also lose their viscosity due to the high operating temperatures and constant stress. If the oil becomes too thin, it can no longer protect the gears sufficiently.
Only regular gear oil changes ensure reliable transmission function without shifting problems.
In order to avoid problems with transmission fluids, it is also recommended to routinely check the oil level and oil quality. If there are any signs of contamination, viscosity loss or other abnormalities, the oil should be changed immediately.

Why is it important to use the right gear oil?
Different transmissions have different designs. This also leads to special requirements that a transmission fluid must meet.
If an oil is used that does not attain the values required by the manufacturer and therefore does not meet the correct specifications or have the correct viscosity, it cannot fulfill its tasks optimally.
When selecting the gear oil, it is therefore essential to observe the manufacturer’s approval for your vehicle.
However, the quality of the transmission fluid also plays an essential role.
Only gear oils of high quality ensure that it performs optimally both during cold starts and at maximum operating temperatures.
Liqui Moly warns that using the wrong or inferior oil can affect the performance of the transmission and cause serious damage.

Liqui Moly gear oils
Liqui Moly says its modern gear oils are both of high quality and officially approved by many manufacturers.
It says that often, they even exceed the manufacturer’s specifications.
In addition to their quality, Liqui Moly says its gear oils are particularly distinguished by their specific formulation for different transmission types, such as manual transmissions, axle drives, and differentials.
Liqui Moly explains that its gear oils have been specially developed to prevent the prevailing problems and extend the service life of vehicle transmissions.
It says they provide first-class lubrication for a wide range of vehicles, with advanced formulations effectively reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation, even under extreme conditions.
In addition, they contain special additives that reduce gear wear to a minimum and thus maximise the efficiency of the transmission, whether in older or modern vehicles.
Further, Liqui Moly states they maintain their viscosity over a wide temperature range, which means they offer reliable protection in both cold and hot conditions.
And thanks to their excellent aging resistance, Liqui Moly asserts that its gear oils also need to be changed less often, with the long change intervals saving costs and protecting the environment.

Which gear oil is right for your car?
With the proper care, compliance with change intervals and the correct gear oil, the transmission runs smoothly, quietly and reliably.
Choosing a high-quality oil can also help prevent many transmission problems from occurring in the first place. This in turn ultimately extends the service life of the vehicle and avoids costly repairs.
