Here are some of the specific differences between car transmission oil and ATV transmission oil:
* Viscosity. Car transmission oil is typically thicker than ATV transmission oil. This is because car transmissions operate at lower temperatures than ATV transmissions, and thicker oil is better able to protect the gears from wear.
* Additives. Car transmission oil contains different additives than ATV transmission oil. These additives are designed to protect the transmission from wear, corrosion, and oxidation. ATV transmission oil contains additives that are designed to protect the transmission from high-speed operation and extreme temperatures.
* Friction modifiers. Car transmission oil contains friction modifiers that help to reduce the amount of friction between the gears. This helps to improve the transmission's efficiency and reduce wear. ATV transmission oil does not contain friction modifiers, as they can interfere with the transmission's ability to shift smoothly.
If you are not sure what type of transmission oil your ATV requires, refer to the owner's manual. Using the wrong type of transmission oil can damage the transmission, so it is important to be sure that you are using the correct product.
