Since it is thicker, it will not flow as readily into the gears and it will reduce the available backlash. Lubricants at our conditions are incompressible. What is the functional detriment if the oil is not serviced? If the lubricant is not serviced at the proper interval the shearing action in the bearing and the gears will begin to take their toll and the lubricant will thicken, making matters worse.
