What is Gear Oil?
Gear oil is specially formulated for the often-violent action found when two shafts come into contact with each other via the gears. Whenever a driver goes through a range of gears during acceleration, friction is generated each time the clutch engages and disengages and different gears mesh with each other in order to regulate the power provided by the engine. Without carefully engineered gear oil, damage would invariably be caused to those components.
