That's interesting. I've never tested their gear oil...I use it on occasion but I never suggest even gear oil remain in a case long enough to ever cause an issue over viscosity. I'd really like to see what their findings were concerning viscosity, though. Fialing to meet their advertisements could actually mean an exceedingly high viscosity, or a failure to change with temperature alterations.

I have done a lot of testing on their motor oil in both my cars and my bikes and found it to be pretty much on par with everyone else's oil.

But do keep in mind that wally world doesn't "make" their oil.
