Find gear oil and hydraulic oil at Carmedia24.dk for maintaining gearboxes, transmissions and hydraulic systems. The right oil is essential for lubrication, protection and stable performance. Always choose oil based on the manufacturer’s specifications and the system it is intended for.

Gear oil for gearboxes and transmissions

Gear oil is formulated to lubricate gears, bearings and other moving components in transmission systems. It helps reduce friction and protect against wear under load.

Different gearboxes and differentials may require different oil types. That is why it is important to check both the viscosity and the required approvals.

Gear oil 75W-90, 80W-90 and other viscosities

Gear oil is available in different viscosity grades, such as 75W-90 and 80W-90. Viscosity describes the oil’s flow properties at different temperatures, but on its own it does not determine whether the oil is suitable for your gearbox.

Also check requirements such as API GL-4 or GL-5. These classifications are not automatically interchangeable, and the wrong oil can affect transmission performance.

Hydraulic oil for hydraulic systems

Hydraulic oil is used to transfer power in hydraulic systems while also lubricating the system’s components. It is used in various machines, workshop installations and hydraulic equipment.

Hydraulic oil must match the system’s requirements for viscosity, temperature, pressure and material compatibility.

Hydraulic oil ISO VG 32, 46 and 68

ISO VG 32, ISO VG 46 and ISO VG 68 are common viscosity grades for hydraulic oil. The right grade depends on the equipment design and operating conditions. Always follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions rather than choosing based on viscosity alone.

What is the difference between gear oil and hydraulic oil?

Gear oil is typically developed for lubricating and protecting transmission components, while hydraulic oil is primarily designed to transfer power and ensure proper function in a hydraulic system. These oils have different properties and should not be used as substitutes for each other unless the manufacturer expressly allows it.

How to choose the right oil

  • Check the manufacturer’s requirements for oil type and specifications.
  • Choose the recommended viscosity grade.
  • Make sure the oil is suitable for the gearbox, differential or hydraulic system.
  • Check for any requirements for special additives and approvals.
  • Avoid mixing different oil types without documented compatibility.
