What Paul said, Kirk....

While I am sure you can use synthetic oil,
the synchros most likely will not be as
effective as they would be, considering the
box was built with petroleum based oils
in mind.

The substitute Datsun box is this way, though unlike the Spridget boxi it uses
gear oil rather than motor oil. Synchro performance definitely decays due
to the more "slippery" synthetic though
shifting in cold, winter climates is 
definitely easier with synthetic, most
definitely initially after start.
