[QUOTE="matt-itude, post: 837824, member: 54752"] I didnt mean to dodge your Q. Im with ya it wont act like 10w when cold period. im no expert on this but im thinking on a tranny its cold temp isnt so critical like in an engine because thicker oil should protect things like gears better. the problem here would be in how a tranny lubes with the oil that thick when cold, will it work its way into the bearings and inbetween the gears and the shaft etc.? the reason i say i dont htink the cold viscosity is so important is in an engine that cold rating is so important because when you start it cold the oil pump needs to push it to the moving parts of the engine quickly before damage happens. the thicker oil would actually be carried around more by the gears when cold. I guess im saying we could take either side of this. I have personally been using silkoleen comp but actually bought a bottle of gearsaver to try because on my last ride it seemed to be a little hard to shift a couple times. I am however one who buys auto oil for the autos and gun oil for the guns and bike oil for the bikes. just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
