Why do good synthetic gear oil shift a lot faster?

A little education about oil goes a long way. All oils contain some synthetic elements. These are liquid polymers called stabilizers( OK. Long chain polymers for the science geeks out there). What these do for oil is to force the carbon atoms to hold together for a longer period of time under heat and pressure. Synthetic oils have the carbon atoms integrated directly into the synthetic components from the start. This makes for a long lasting smoother shifting oil that does not break down (AS MUCH) at low temperatures. The basic components still come from the same place. Refineries and liquid polymer manufacturing facilities. They are just put together in a different manufacturing process. This is true for all oils, gear oil, motor oil, transmission oil, even grease... A good fossil motor oil breaks down at around 240 to 260 degrees fareheight. A synthetic oil does not start to break down until it gets to somewhere around 400 to 600 degrees farenheight. Also the molecules are slippery or they don't redily bond with other things like the carbon atoms in the engine block or other components of the engine or transmission. Don't get me wrong here, this is only an extreamly rough description of what realy happening with these oils. they will still break down over time and need to be changed out mostly just from accumulating the junk that gets into them on a regular schedule. They just hold up and provide lubrication for a longer period of time than regular ';fossil'; oil blends do.
