Well, I would think it to be loose like 5W when it is cold and tough like 50W when it is hot and working.
Is this an aircraft grade oil?

Chris on the motor oil right now with it warming up use a 10W/30W quality oil, no synthetic. I use Castrol with no problems from Wallly world.
Gear case? any quality 75W to 90W gear oil in the bottles with the spout. I use again a oil from Wal Mart. Mobile, castrol etc.
In the hot summer here I use a 20W/50W oil in the engine again Castrol.
