[Healeys] Gearbox oil

[BJ8Healeys]

Another question that will result in a lot of different opinions.  I've always used 30-weight non-detergent oil in my gearbox and overdrive.  Non-detergent according to the theory that because there is no oil filter in the system non-detergent oil allows any wear particles to settle out of the oil instead of being continuously circulated through the mechanicals.
