People confuse engine oil weights with gear o=

s about the same viscosity > {pourability} as 20w engine oil. Back in th=
e days when your cars were new oil technology expecially gear oil was rathe=
r crude. 30w engine oil was used because they did not have a gear oil=
that was thin enough. Light weight gear oils are fairly new. The las=
t 15 years or so. Gear oils are designed for shear stregnth. Meaning they c=
ling to virtical surfaces. Engine oil does not. By using straight weight en=
gine oils you are using ancient technology. It would be the same as putting=
on rayon/nylon tires, using poor fuel etc. We use 75w/80 gear oil in all b=
ut our racing boxes. These use a 75w synthetic oil. One of the boxes, a pre=
-war jag box had over 30,000 miles of rallies on it before it broke a gear =
tooth. There was no evidence of abnormal brass wear on the syncros. I have =
never had an oil engineer in 25+ years of business tell me that hypoid oil =
attacks brass. The light weight gear oils shift better and protect your gea=
rs better than any engine oil.=20
