Default Re: Gear oil

I don't know much about oils and there make up but I know from working with steam engines for the last 50 years you use 600w for steam lubricators on the engines. Other oils brake down under the heat and wet steam on the cylinder walls of steam engines. A steam cleaner want clean it off of engines, you have to wash it off with kerosene. Allso we used 600w in winches with a worm gear setup. Ford recommended it for their gear boxes and so did John Deere.
