I ran a search here but could not find any information on the differences between marine and auto gear lube (90 wt). I have some specific questions looking for answers:
1. Marine claims it can better handle water with emulsifiers. What specifically are "emulsifiers"? Chemical names please.
2. Why are there no specifications for marine gear lube that would point to a test method (ASTM, SAE etc.) As far as I know, there is no specific test or specs.
I am looking for hard facts, not the usual ancedotal stuff like "well I used XX brand of gear lube in my boat for years with no issues". What do you know?
