Pertamina Jakarta Transmission Oil
There's a lot of different oils flowing all over the car. From motor oil to radiator oil to AC refrigerant fluid, it's important to keep each of these fluids under control to keep your car in tip-top shape. One of these essential fluids is transmission oil. Most people know about the importance of changing your engine oil, but many do not fully understand what transmission oil is, the role of transmission fluid and when to change it.
Transmission Oil refers to a gearbox that uses gears and a series of gears to provide speed and torque conversion from a rotating power source (the engine) to another device (the wheels). Transmission oil is used to lubricate the transmission components of the vehicle for optimal performance.
In Indonesia, Pertamina's transmission oil has been recognized for its quality and excellence. With the many types of transmission oil presented by Pertamina, we can easily choose what transmission oil is suitable for your vehicle.
Types of Transmission Oil
In general, there are two main categories of transmission oil: automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil. There are also synthetic transmission types and special oils used and specified in various transmission types including CVT and dual clutch models. To keep your vehicle running properly, it is important to know the type of transmission oil and the specifications of the oil it needs.
1. Automatic Transmission Oil
This type of automatic transmission oil is designed for vehicles that have an automatic transmission. This oil is also used in some of the more modern manual transmission cars where the clutch and shifter are used during gearshift. Automatic transmission oil meets automatic transmission requirements and assists a variety of functions, including:
- Gear lubrication
- Torque converter operation
- Valve body operation
- Clutch friction operation
- Brake band friction
- Transmission cooling
2. Manual Transmission Oil
Whereas manual transmission oil has less work to do than automatic transmission oil. Some manual transmissions work with or even require ATF. However, there are attributes over which the quality of manual transmission oil must excel, such as protecting soft metal (brass) synchronizations from corrosion. Manual transmission oil is usually used in older vehicles.
Depending on the type of vehicle you have and the length of your ownership, you may not have to worry about the type of transmission fluid you are using. That's because there's no need to change it often. Some automatic transmissions may never require an oil change, although most mechanics recommend changing it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Manual transmissions require more frequent transmission oil changes, usually every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you are in doubt whether your vehicle needs a new transmission oil and what type to use, do not hesitate to consult one of our experienced mechanics.
What are the characteristics of transmission oil?
In general, automatic transmission oils have a thinner, translucent consistency with a red hue, although some automatic transmission oils are now blue/green, purple or even yellow, depending on the manufacturer. This makes it easy to distinguish it from motor oil and other lubricants flowing through your car. It also makes it easier to detect leaks. While manual transmission oil is usually darker in color and thicker in consistency. This oil will also have a stronger smell.
