I use an 80W-90 grade. Brand doesn't really matter that much.Stick to the well known brands if you like, ie Shell, Castrol, BP, Gulf Western.

Caltex recommend torque fluid 454,  you need to use the correct oil as some gearoils have additives that will attack bushes in early gearboxes

                                    hope this helps
