Don't touch EP (Extreme Pressure) gear oils. The additives include sulphur, phosphorus and chlorine compounds. There is a reason behind their stink. They are a very specialist lubricant for point-contact geartooth shapes, like hypoids, and to survive this even nasty additives were accepted. Not as dangerous as PCBs but rather unpleasant in their own way.
