hi

why is the thinest gearbox oil mod listed as large improvement in the 65+ efficiency mods where as thinest engine oil mod is listed as small improvement? i read the example thread that gave the large improvement but that was an anomoly where the vehicle had the wrong oil. in most cases i would expect the improvement would be a lot less.

or am i missing something?
