Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Not sure if this is clear but what I mean to say is that an SAE 75 weight gear oil is not thicker than a 50 weight engine oil. The oil numbering system by SAE is indicative the service application of the oil and then it's relative viscosity.
This means that there is no "40" or "50" weight gear oil because the numbers "0 through 50" indicate engine oils while those "70" through "250" indicate gear oils. One purpose for selecting the different SAE viscosity range numbering is to avoid confusing the application of oils. A bottle of oil having a "90" number is a gear oil and not an engine oil.
ISO and other number systems differ but the SAE system is most common in vehicle lubricants. Two cycle oil, automatic transmission oils and other specialty oils do not use these systems.
If someone has not confirmed this difference, pick up a bottle of gear oil and one of engine oil on your next visit to a parts store. Shake the oil bottles and the difference in viscosity will be evident. One can place some containers in the fridge and then try pouring to observe the thickening effects of temperature.
