75w140 synthetic is good stuff....minimal noise, and no smell ever.
Thanks; I wish I had of thought to add synthetic as an option in the poll (this is my first poll ever).
Your comment about the smell made me think of something that hadn't occurred to me before; the one memorable thing about plain old gear lube is that unmistakable smell; if you have ever got a whiff of it once in your life, you will know exactly what it is if you ever smell it again.
If you walk past your vehicle and catch scent of that odor, you will definitely know that something is amiss and investigate to find out what is leaking.
Does synthetic gear lube have that same smell ?
Another question about synthetic gear lube: I have often read that synthetic engine oil is much "thinner" and will leak out of a leaky engine much more quickly that plain old oil; does the same hold true for synthetic gear lube ?
On EDIT: I just figured out that I could edit the poll; so, I added synthetic as a choice.
If you have already voted, it will allow you to change your vote (and you don't have to wait four years to do it)
