What does everyone use for changing the SAE 140 transmission fliud in the snow thrower gear box?
I've found 85W-140 gear oil, will this be OK?

I use Hy-tran in all my Cub Cadet gear boxes. The 85w might be heavy for winter use.

I was able to find a manual on the CW36 thrower and it states the fluid to use is "SAE 140 Transmission Fluid". When I read that I thought man that sure is thick oil for the cold winters.
That's why I thought the 85W-140 would be a better substitute......

Yes, but it's the CW36 (previous model). Is #2 grease a thick grease that you would use a grease gun with. The gear box has an allen screw I was able to remove tonight. Looks like there is no fluid at all in there......
This is a thrower I just picked up, so I don't know it's history.
