The Importance of Gear Oil
March 14, 2010
When you think of oil, chances are that you are thinking about engine oil. This motor oil flows through your engine and provides lubrication to mechanical components. However, there are others that are in many ways just as important.
One such oil is the gear oil. This mixture serves as a lubricant for the manual transmission, transfer case and differentials-many of the systems that are under constant stress. Because of this, gear oil has a very high viscosity compared to other forms of oil.
