No. It is thicker than maple syrup. It is more like, well. It is hard to describe. I guess you could say it actually is like maple syrup, but way more dense. You have to scoop it out, and it very sticky. When trying to fill the diff you either have to put a bit in, and wait and wait for it to sink down, or what I do is scoop some in and then turn the gears so the gears help pull the oil down into the diff. 300K is almost more like grease than oil.
