It's gear oil, fast superior to the stuff that comes stock. It makes the gear shifting much smoother and keeps the tranny in much better shape. It eliminates all grinding (or at least most of it). This is of course for a manual transmission

Yep, very noisy. But remember that for every 17 to 25(*more or less) pounds taken off the car, 1hp is freed because of weight reduction. The power to weight ratio is roughly depending on your cars weight with you, gas, and other fluids such as water in the washer fluid reserve.
