As far as I know...viscosity is more controlled with synth vs dino gear oil...meaning that when cold synth is thinner. One person claimed that after changing to synth gear oil...same weight...he could coast further with synth oil.

I had an '86 Escort that used ATF in a manual transaxle....thinking that using synth ATF with a good additive might work...but might be risky too.
