The gear systems in your car engage in a lot of metal-on-metal contact, causing heat and wear-and-tear. Gear oil helps protect these moving parts by reducing friction and transferring heat away from them. Gear oil is a lubricant designed for use in transmissions, manual gearboxes, differentials, transaxles and transfer cases in your car or truck.
More importantly, it helps protect critical internal components in your car’s gear systems from wear and heat damage.
Inadequate lubrication can result in the scouring, corrosion, scuffing, and pitting of important drivetrain components. Natural friction grinds these moving parts down, and tiny metal particles slowly accumulate in the gear oil.
If you regularly subject your car to severe conditions, like towing or driving in mud, you may need to change your gear oil as often as every 24,000km (15,000 miles).

This is particularly true in high-traffic areas where the bike may not be moving yet there is continuous running of the engine and lubricant circulation.
