[TowerTalk] Worm Gears

[Robert Harmon]

Matt,

The viscosity is only part of the equation.
I might be a comparable viscosity but there are many other ingredients 
that are formulated into the lubricants for specific applications. 
The gear lube we are discussing is a synthetic lube specifically formulated for worm gears.
