It's also called "hypoid oil" because it's used in hypoid geartrains. It's a very thick, somewhat sticky oil used in things like manual transmissions.

not all 90 wt oil is "hypoid oil" hypoid means that there are additives in the oil to help with shaft driven engines, these additives can damage some clutch components if it is used in the wrong applications, however, if the engine calls for hypoid oil make sure to use it.

What happens if you put gear oil in a dodge five speed transmission instead of dexron III?

To my best guess and thinking. Gear oil is 90 weight oil and dexron3 is 10 weight oil. 90 wt. being thicker would cause your traqns to get hot and could burn up your trans. But, if it is an older transmission some auto makers recomend using heavier oil in the transmission. But this is only on a manual transmission. brewski
