I originally put 30 weight non-detergent oil in the OD transmission,
as recommended by the rebuilder.  When I went to change it, though, I
went with the recommendation of the folks on this list and used
Redline MT-90.  It works very well.

When I rebuild the differential this winter, I'll add it to that as
well.  In the meantime, I've used GL-4 gear oil with the usual
results.
