Don't forget that the weight numbering system for gear oil is not equivalent
to that of motor oil.  I.e., a 40-weight motor oil is not at all half as 
viscous as
a 80-weight gear oil at the same temperature.

I am happy with the Redline gear oil because it does not get too thick
in really cold weather, and it is not hard to shift on winter mornings...
