[Mgs] Overdrive oil

[James Nazarian]

I think that the manual specs non detergent oil.  Is this really necessary
or will a standard oil do?  So far it seems that most people are just
running standard oil, but I thought I'd ask.

?The gearbox and OD share the oil (and indeed have the same 
?filler, on the RHS of the gearbox casing on RB cars).  It's 
?the same as for the engine i.e. 
?whatever grade is appropriate for your climatic conditions.  I 
?think BL knew what they were doing when they specified that.
