[Healeys] Gearbox oil

[Bob Spidell]

Mine leaks about a quarter-quart of Redline every 5K miles or so. I can live with it.

I tried Redline at one point and the gearbox leaked profusely. Changed back to 30wtnd and now only have the typical drips. 

Moral to the story: all our cars are different so what works for one may not work for others.

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.
