Everything you need to know about car hydraulic oil
Car hydraulic oil is one of the oils available in cars with the technology of the past decades, which acts like brake oil and makes the steering wheel and other hydraulic parts of the car turn more smoothly.
But the first question is what is hydraulic oil? Simply put, hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid is a type of fluid to move mechanical parts. This oil uses two factors of pressure and flow to transfer power. Types of hydraulic oil are classified into two categories: synthetic and petroleum.
It is not bad to know that hydraulic oil plays the most important role in a hydraulic system, which by the way is not limited to the previous generation of cars and is used in many other mechanical tools such as cranes, pumps and hydraulic jacks. Of course, the performance of hydraulic oil depends on different things depending on the type of use.
Among these items, the following properties and items can be mentioned
- Viscosity
Functional temperature
Type of hydraulic system
Resistance of oil layers
Maximum moisture absorption
Acidity and PH number
Degree of resistance to oxidation
In today’s modern cars, the steering system of cars is equipped with an electric motor, and the power transmission system with the help of hydraulic oil is less used in cars. Of course, this system is still used in many domestically produced cars due to the fact that their technology belongs to the past decades and is customary.
Car hydraulic oil change time
Changing the hydraulic oil and its time depends on many of the following things, and by observing each of these things, you should know that it is time to change the hydraulic oil of your car’s steering wheel.
- Blackening of the oil
The smell of burning oil
Observing the foam on the surface and inside the oil
Oil hardening and flow resistance
Matting of oil paint
Lower hydraulic oil level
Mating of hydraulic oil
The important thing about changing the steering wheel hydraulic oil is not to mix two different types of hydraulic oil with different viscosities. In general, try to use one type of product and the best hydraulic oil for changing the hydraulic oil due to its importance and high performance, and while emptying the hydraulic oil chamber, completely remove the previous oil from the chamber space.
The price of steering hydraulic oil
The price of car hydraulic oils can be completely different depending on the brand of the oil producer and the type of car. It is also worth noting that the best Pride hydraulic steering oil must meet DEXRON II and PSF-III standards.
Pride hydraulic oil price and Farman Samand hydraulic oil price can be different depending on the Iranian and foreign brand or under license, as well as its standards.
