TRANSMISSION OIL CAPACITY specification refers to the specific requirements and characteristics that a particular type of oil, typically used in transmissions of vehicles and machinery, must meet to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and efficiency of the transmission system.
These specifications are typically outlined by organizations or associations related to the automotive or lubricant industry, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) or the American Petroleum Institute (API). The specifications cover various aspects of the oil, including viscosity, thermal stability, lubricating properties, oxidation resistance, and compatibility with the materials used in the transmission.
Key components of Transmission Oil Capacity specifications include:
1. Viscosity: Viscosity measures the oil’s resistance to flow. It’s a critical factor in ensuring proper lubrication and operation of the transmission.
2. Temperature Range: The oil should maintain its properties within a specified temperature range to ensure optimal performance in both cold and hot conditions.
3. Additives: Additives are added to improve properties such as anti-wear, anti-foaming, and anti-oxidation capabilities of the oil.
4. Compatibility: The oil should be compatible with the materials used in the transmission, ensuring it doesn’t cause damage or corrosion.
5. Oxidation Resistance: Resistance to oxidation helps maintain the oil’s stability and prevent degradation over time.
6. Shear Stability: The ability of the oil to maintain its viscosity and protective properties under mechanical stress, such as that experienced in the transmission.
7. Friction Modification: Lubricants often contain additives that help in managing friction and improve efficiency.
8. Foam Control: The oil should resist foaming to maintain consistent lubrication and prevent air entrainment.
Manufacturers of transmission oils ensure their products meet these specifications and standards to provide reliable lubrication and prolong the life of the transmission system in vehicles and machinery. Users should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and use the appropriate oil meeting the specified requirements for their transmission systems.
About ACURA CL and ILX
The Acura CL is a midsize grand tourer manufactured by Honda’s Acura brand from 1996 until 2003. The CL is often thought to have been a replacement for the Acura Legend coupe. It was not directly related to the first gen TL either, a Japanese-built model which replaced the Vigor and had a longitudinal engine layout. With the advent of the second-generation TL in 1999, the transverse engine CL became more precisely a TL coupe. All Acura CLs were built at Honda’s plant in East Liberty, Ohio, which is also the plant that builds the Honda Civic. The second-generation TL and the Honda Accord upon which the Acura CLs were based, are built at Honda’s plant in Marysville, Ohio, a few miles away from East Liberty. The CL was the first Acura to be built in the United States.
The Acura ILX is a compact car (C-segment) manufactured and marketed by Honda under the Acura brand, based on the ninth-generation Civic sedan. The ILX replaced the Canadian market exclusive Acura CSX. The gasoline-electric hybrid version was Acura’s first. The concept version was unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, the production version was presented in the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The ILX introduces a new design that Acura calls “aero-fused dynamics”. Mass production commenced on April 23 at Honda’s assembly facility in Greensburg, Indiana and U.S. sales began on May 22.
