Yep your gear box will need an oil chainge every 3000 miles if less. 
Engin oil is not designed for use in a gearbox.  The 90W oil is ideal
for the Spitfire.  It needs the high sulpher content to stop the metal
wearing.  The gearbox oil is not stressed by the High Pressures in the
gearbox where as the engin oil will be cut up.
