I run 30W non-detergent in my BN1 and that's what's been used in it for
over sixty years now and it still works great, so why mess with a good thing!
And yes, mine leaks, so I always have fresh oil being added and what leaks,
looks almost brand new. All good and I try not to over think or change
what works.

Yes that's true for the BN2 through to BJ8 gearboxes, but not so for the
BN1
which does not have a dipstick. The BN1 box has a screw-in plug on the
almost top right hand side and to test the level you have to revert to the
old finger in the hole trick.
I recall many years back after a particularly brisk cross country trip I
stopped to check the gearbox oil level. On unscrewing the plug the hot oil
flowed out under pressure clearly caused by expansion. Unlike the later
cars
the BN1 gearbox is sealed.
