<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If there are bronze/brass baulk/synchro
rings in the gearbox it is best to be on the safe side and not use
EP oils that contain halogens F, Cl, Br, I as these may attack the
bronze/brass components. Sunbeam for that matter stipulated to use
SEA 30 or 20W50 engine oil. I do not see a reason to take the risk
using EP oils. They do not ad much if anything. Straight or
detergent containing does not matter much if you change the oil on
a regular basis as prescribed in those days. Oil is cheap so I
change the oil in my gearbox every time I change the engine oil,
i.e. once a year. Use a drain plug with a magnet.<br>
<br>
Modern gearboxes may not even have a drain plug as the oil is
never changed and we have become used to that!<br>

that you’ve got the filter and the magnets. Doesn’t make
much difference what oil you use if they’re missing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2) Consider swapping the mad notched

I've always used 30-weight non-detergent oil in
my gearbox and overdrive. Non-detergent
according to the theory that because there is no
oil filter in the system non-detergent oil
allows any wear particles to settle out of the
oil instead of being continuously circulated
through the mechanicals.</span></p>
