Lubricant blends and finished gear oils comprising a Fischer-Tropsch
derived lubricant base oil fraction, a petroleum derived base oil, and a
pour point depressant are provided. The Fischer-Tropsch derived lubricant
base oil fraction comprises less than 0.30 weight percent aromatics,
greater than 5 weight percent molecules with cycloparaffinic
functionality, and a ratio of weight percent of molecules with
monocycloparaffinic functionality to weight percent of molecules with
multicycloparaffinic functionality greater than 15. The petroleum derived
base oils comprises greater than 90 weight percent saturates and less
than 300 ppm sulfur and is preferably selected from the group consisting
of a Group II base oil, a Group III base oil, and mixtures thereof. These
lubricant blends have surprising low Brookfield viscosities at
-40.degree. C.
