'Gear oil ' is a motor oil made specifically for transmission (mechanics), transfer case, and Differential (mechanics) in automobiles, trucks, and other machinery. It is of a higher viscosity to better protect the gears and usually is associated with a strong sulfur smell. The high viscosity ensures transfer of lubricant throughout the gear train. This is necessary since the devices needing this heavy oil do not have pumps for transferring the oil with only a portion of the lowermost gears bathed in an oil sump. This heavy oil can create viscous drag leading to inefficiencies in vehicle operation. Some modern automatic transaxle (integrated transmission and differential) do not use a heavy oil at all but lubricate with the lower viscosity hydraulic fluid, which is available at pressure within the automatic transmission. Most lubricants for manual gearboxes and differentials are hypoid gear oils. These contain EP additive and AW additive to cope with the sliding action of hypoid bevel gears.
