I think in the UK adding STP might make the box a bit unfriendly till 
everything had warmed up in an English winter.

Midget Club web
 site that the only thing you need for the smooth and ribcase gearbox is 
20W-50 wt oil and
 STP. At first I put Redline MT-90 in my just rebuilt smoothcae gearbox and 
discovered the
 first motion shaft making a noise like the bearings were not getting any 
oil.  We thought
 it might be the pilot bushing at first, remember Frank?  I put the combo in 
that I just
 mentioned and it is very quiet now.  Besides, STP is cheap.
