Most but not all manual transmissions use a heavy weight oil. That is transmission oil. Most A/T use a much lighter transmission fluid, which is a highly refined oil, that is Transmission Fluid. You will sometines find a manual transmission which uses Trsnsmission fluid. Certain Ford Rangers is an example.
Yes there is. They both will have different additives in them. There viscosity (thickness) will also be different. Transmission fluid has a red dye that is added so it can be distinguished from engine oil.
The GMC Sonoma 2.2 litre manual transmission hold 12 quarts of transmission gear oil. Keep in mind there is a big difference between gear oil and automatic transmission fluid.
none
Crankcase or motor oil is thicker than transmission oil. That's one difference, there may be more (other than color)
NO!!!! do not do this, oil is oil, transmission fluid is transmission fluid, and antifreeze is antifreeze, do not mix any of these, it can perminately damage your engine.
Refill the transmission fluid, and never let them touch your vehicle again. Someone who can't tell the difference between an oil pan and an engine has no business wrenching on any motor vehicle, period.
You can check the motor oil or the transmission fluid.
It is an automatic transmission fluid.It is an automatic transmission fluid.
If you mean "engine oil" then I would think that a seal has failed between the transmission unit and the "engine" Other than that maybe someone put or topped up the transmission fluid in the wrong location. Change of oil is required any way
There is no difference that I am aware of. These terms seem to be used interchangably.
vehicles with automatic transmissions require transmission fluid. vehicles with manual transmissions require either transmission fluid or gear oil. the fluid helps reduce friction between internal parts, reduce heat, and lubricates.
Differencial is for the rear and is a real thick oil where trans fluid is red like my head
