Gearbox Oil

Gearbox Oil

Gearbox oil is a fluid that lubricates your car’s various gearboxes, which includes manual transmissions, differentials, and transfer cases. This fluid is thicker than engine oil or transmission fluid, so it is often used in place of transmission fluid to offer better performance. As with all vehicle fluids, gearbox oil should be changed at the manufacturer recommended intervals.
