Engine Oils

• Correct selection: Always use the grade recommended by the vehicle manual

• (e.g., 5W-30 or 10W-40).

• Regular check: Inspect the oil level every 1,000 km or once a month.

• Replacement: Change oil and filters regularly, usually every 10,000 – 15,000 km.

• Storage: Keep away from humidity and direct sunlight.

• Safety: Do not mix different oil types unless they are compatible.

Gear & Transmission Oils

• Correct selection: Follow the specified grade from the manufacturer (ATF, CVT, or Manual gear oil).

• Replacement: Typically replaced every 50,000 – 75,000 km, or as required.

• Check: Monitor oil level and color; dark or burnt oil must be replaced.

• Storage: Keep tightly sealed.

Hydraulic Oils

• Usage: Designed for heavy machinery and lifting systems.

• Monitoring: Regularly check the oil level and cleanliness to avoid contamination.

• Replacement: Usually every 1,000 – 2,000 operating hours.

• Safety: Do not mix different hydraulic oil types.

Gear Oils (Industrial & Automotive)

• Usage: For lubricating industrial or automotive gear systems.

• Replacement: Change regularly to prevent gear wear.

• Monitoring: Check viscosity and oil color; major changes indicate replacement.
