There is not too much difference between 30W engine
oil and 80W Gear oil. 80W gear is like 40W engine oil.
It is a different spec, and is tested differently.
The main difference is the composition and additives.
We've all had this discussion before, and I dont want to put
any new spins on old issues.
If you'd like my opinion off line, I'd be happy to give it.
