Is gear lubrication fluid different from ATF?
 

I noticed that on Mobil 1's site, gear lubrication is offered as one
of their products apart from their ATF and I was wondering what the
difference was? I thought that ATF was the "gear lube"? Thanks.

Probably for rear ends and/or heavy equipment.

ATF is for the transmission, and gear lube is for differentials in
rear wheel drive cars. Usually gear lube comes in 80W90 or 75W145
weights (yes, the same scale as motor oil)

shouldn't be concerned with, correct?
