Gearbox oil

I will be changing the gasket on the gearbox shortly & normally use Castrol oils for engine etc . What do others use , if using Castrol ? There’s a castrol universal 80/90. For manual transmissions . The GMH manual shows straight run mineral oil SAE 90 . I’m probably worrying about nothing . Cheers John .

Thanks Errol , I see you use Moreys as well , good to see . It seems that using 80/90 oil is the go & whatever brand is a personal choice . Thanks for reply .cheers John.

Hi John,
If you want a direct replacement for the GMH Oil then use Penrite Transoil 90:
https://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/transoil-sae-90
It is a straight SAE90 Mineral Oil.
It is important not to use multi grade or friction modified oils in grey gearboxes as they can impact the function of the syncromesh engagement.
Cheers,
