I'm pretty certain that gear box oils also contain cocktails of additives. The role of the oil in modern synchro boxes is very critical, not only providing lubrication, but also, spinning up the transfer shaft. In fact, some makes now insist on referring to "gear box oil" specifically as "transmission fluid" even in manual boxes. Even in the distant past, the old "EP" gear oils were the foulest-smelling fluids you'd be likely to find in a garage.
