Yes, gear oil is normally much heavier and is non-detergent.
Gear oil is normally a much heavier oil.
Gear oil is more viscous (thicker) and has different additives in it.

Yes it can. the only difference between the oil is the thickness. 75 weight and 85 weight. its not that big of a difference so it can be replaced with that.

Automotive oil is formulated as a engine crankcase oil and Motorcycle oil is formulated three jobs a crankcase oil, a transmission-gear oil, and a wet clutch oil.
The GMC Sonoma 2.2 litre manual transmission hold 12 quarts of transmission gear oil. Keep in mind there is a big difference between gear oil and automatic transmission fluid.
Engine oil, compared to gear oil, usually has lower viscosity when cold. It contains more detergent additive. It requires higher temperatures to burn. It is designed to protect engines from damage caused by solids and acids formed in combustion. Gear oils usually have more additives to prevent wear at extreme pressures. Gear oils are often available in formulations for compatibility with specific types of seals and clutches.

The primary difference between GL-3 and GL-5 gear oils lies in their additive formulations and performance characteristics. GL-3 gear oil is designed for older gear systems and provides adequate protection against wear and corrosion, while GL-5 gear oil contains higher levels of extreme pressure (EP) additives, making it suitable for modern hypoid gear applications and heavy-duty use. As a result, GL-5 offers better protection under high-load and high-temperature conditions compared to GL-3. However, using GL-5 in certain older systems designed for GL-3 may lead to compatibility issues, particularly with yellow metals.
The difference between barrel and gallen is that a barrel can load 220 litre oil and a gallon can load millions of oil.
Difference is capacity and the fuel type.
