Transmission Oil
Trent’s range of Lubricants are designed to exceed the standards and provide the end user with a confidence that only comes from using a top quality oil lubricant product.
Transmission oil, also known as transmission fluid, is a lubricant used to protect and cool the moving parts inside a vehicle or machine’s transmission system. It helps reduce friction, ensures smooth gear changes and prevents wear on internal components.
Manual transmission oil is typically thicker and designed to protect gears and bearings under high pressure. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), on the other hand, is thinner and contains friction modifiers and detergents to support hydraulic systems and smooth shifting.
Transmission oil ensures efficient power transfer, prevents overheating and extends the lifespan of the gearbox. Without proper lubrication, metal parts can grind together, leading to costly damage or total transmission failure.
Change intervals depend on the manufacturer’s recommendations, vehicle type and operating conditions. For heavy-duty or industrial transmissions, oil analysis and routine maintenance checks help determine the ideal replacement schedule.
Common signs include difficulty shifting gears, grinding noises, slipping gears or dark and burnt-smelling oil. Regularly checking the oil condition can help prevent serious transmission issues.
Mixing oils is not recommended, as different formulations have unique additives and viscosity levels. Always use the specific oil grade and specification recommended by your equipment or vehicle manufacturer.
Synthetic transmission oil is engineered for improved performance and protection across a wider temperature range. It resists oxidation, reduces friction and offers longer drain intervals compared to conventional mineral-based oils.
Yes. Biodegradable transmission oils made from synthetic esters or renewable base stocks offer high performance while reducing environmental impact. They are ideal for applications in sensitive areas such as agriculture, marine and forestry equipment.
Store in sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping oils clean and uncontaminated ensures consistent performance and extends shelf life.
Yes. Used transmission oils can be collected and processed through approved recycling schemes. Proper recycling helps recover valuable base oils and prevents environmental contamination.
Creative with oil since 1971
For automatic transmissions and power steering units, we can offer a wide range of transmission oils that offer great protection against wear and thermal stability. Made from quality base oils and advanced additives, our transmission lubricants reduce any frictional characteristics within the gearbox to improve fuel efficiency, mechanical efficiency, and prolong the life of the components. Adding Trent Oil Lubricants gear and transmission oils increases the service life of components whilst preventing oxidation which would otherwise compromise gear components in the harshest of operating environments.
We stock a complete range of high performance gear oil, automotive oils, and performance transmission fluid products designed for high levels of component protection when used for transmission applications.
