Hi, when deciding on oils please note that there are entirely different SAE viscosity grades between engine oils and gear oils. I usually put a 140 grade gear oil in Scott gearboxes, which is roughly equivalent to a 90 grade engine oil. Don’t bother with gear oils that have EP before the viscosity rating. This stands for Extreme Pressure, and the additives smell vile !
