Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fw: Gear box oil
This will raise as much controversy as brake fluid does.
The original spec was for a 30 wt non detergent oil which is a little hard
to find. At that time there wasnt a light weight gear oil.
Now there are all sorts of oils available. You will want to stay with the
correct viscosity oil. Now engine oil and transmission oils are measured
differently for their viscosity ratings.
A 75/80 wt gear oil is the same viscosity as a 30 wt engine oil. Red Line
oils make a RedLIne MTL which is a75/80 wt gear made specificly for Manual
Transmissions.
You also can use the MT-90 but it is actuall a little heavy for the original
specs.
