I have used synthetic GL4 gear oil (Mobil) in my A-type OD for many years
now, and my experiences are purely positive. It shifts easily in the
coldest of temperatures. The advice from the Mobil tech. people I spoke to
was to use GL4 for an OD box, not GL5.
Various car manufacturers specify ATF and engine oil for Laycock OD boxes,
so I can only assume these will work fine. As long as you steer away from
anything with high pressure additives.
