Every answer is correct so far.
Yep, same reason why you can't fill your engine with oil and dispense with
the oil pump, filter, etc. Filling with 90 W oil would generate
a heck of an HP loss due to churning & heating of the oil. The ideal
is to keep a film of oil on the gears, not keep them submerged.
Cooling is also vital for long term health of the drive.

Bob,
I would bet the
pressure fed plain bearing is happier with a continuous supply of pressurized
oil.

Re: psru
Cooling?
Why do we keep an oil feed to the re-drive instead of
filling it with 90 weight?
