There's an excellent post in there (twmattox) (with those foolish things 
I think called "facks") which reminds me of one of the critical deciding 
factors in gear oil: is there brass/bronze in there, or not?

* Old transmissions (T-96...) with plain bearings and brass synchronizer 
gears CANNOT use "extreme pressure" additives, eg. anything with sulphur 
(sulphates, etc) as those EAT COPPER AND ZINC METAL (that's in 
brass/bronze).

* That's a separate issue from the viscosity choice stuff that's partly 
subjective and use-based.
