"NO, they are NOT." ... (supervisor)
Of course they ARE DIFFERENT, but not saying anything about the difference don't helps in any way.
previous answer by Amclaussen:
The lubrication, cooling and friction characteristics of an internal combustion engine and a transmission are completely different. Transmissions require a quite different lubricant than those used in engines. Manual transmissions require a GEAR type oil, whose viscosity is higher than the range of viscosity of motor oils, and there are some EXTREME PRESSURE additives in most gear oils, which are not used in IC engines.
Automatic transmissions use a Transmission Fluid, not oil; called "ATF". Even different make of cars can require different ATF's: Chryslers for example should use Chrysler's own ATF, called ATF+3 or the newer ATF+4, which is somewhat different from the usual DEXRON or MERCON type used by other American cars.
Additional info:
The internal combustion engine in a car has verydifferent requirements from those of the transmission. In both uses there is a need to LUBRICATE, cool, reduce wear and to cushion mechanical shock... but in the engine there is a need to help seal the piston rings. There are two different requirements in regard to oil viscosity, operating temperature and the presence of combustion byproducts like water or unburned fuel in the crankcase of the engine versus the transmission.
In the case of a hydraulically operated Automatic Transmission, the transmission of power through a fluid is a quite different requirement, therefore those use what is called an "Automatic Transmission Fluid" (ATF) and NOT a transmission (or gear) OIL. As a result, motor oil and gear oil are not the same, and an ATF is even more different.

Primary oil and transmission are the same. The crankcase is different. They are separated.
How do you check transmission oil on a honda goldwing 1500?
same as the engine oil
How do you change the transmission fluid on a Honda 400ex quad?
On a 400ex the engine and transmission share the same oil. So when you change the oil in the engine you are changing the transmission oil as well. That is why you need an ATV or motorcycle oil designed for wet clutches.
What type of oil goes in a 220 bayou's transmission?
Same as The engine!
Can Lucas transmission fix be used where engine and transmission share the same oil like a Honda ATC?
Keeping in mind that the same oil services both engine and transmission, honestly, I don't believe that the Lucas fix will fix your problem.
How do you check transmission fluid on a Honda fourtrax rincon 2005?
The Honda Rincon uses engine oil as transmission fluid so when you change your engine oil or check your engine oil level you are also changing or checking the transmission fluid at the same time.
Does a 1975 Honda cb750 engine and transmission use the same oil?
Yes.
What type of transmission oil or fluid does a Massey Ferguson 3050 use?
The same oil as you put in the engine!
Is the engine oil and the transmission oil fed from the same tank not refering to the clutch-primary oil?
No, the engine oil and trans oil are not fed from the same tank on H.D. bikes. Engine oil is separate, from the primary drive chain on 4 speed big twins, the transmission oil is also separate. Sportster engines have separate engine oil and their transmissions share primary case oil with the wet clutch. 5 speed models wet clutch models have separate primary case lube, transmission lube and engine oil. As far as my memory serves, no Harley Davidsons have shared engine oil and transmission oil similar to some Jap bikes
What is the transmission oil capacity on a 2003 Honda shadow 750 ace?
The engine oil & transmission are lubed by the same oil, just keep the engine oil to it's full level & it will be fine. Total capacity is about 2.54 quarts
What transmission fluid does ducati motrcycles use?
Ducati engines are unitized designs, meaning that the engine and transmission use the same oil and oiling system. There is no separate drain plug nor oil fill for the transmission and engine.
