My TR-3 uses standard ol' 90W Hypoid gear oil. (At least that
is what I use) I can't remember what the exact Britishism was
for this stuff but I do have the original shop manuals at home
and there is a table listing the lubricant types by
manufactuer. I could look it up.
I did put some of that Slik 50 stuff in a while back
but I generally don't try anything fancy (read expensive)
in the TR cause it all leaks out anyway :-)
