I've used Aeroshell 80 in my BJ8 gearbox for about 22 years now, and it works
great. I tried several different oils back then, but others gave me shifting
problems. The Aeroshell 80 is a non-detergent 40 wt (which is what the shop
manual recommends). It works very well. Its the only non-detergent 40 wt
that I could find.
Hope this helps,

<Hi, can you find Aeroshell 80 (40 wt.) Aviation Oil? They have a line of
non-detergent type oil that is used in airplane engines.

Places that service aircraft may have it. I have been told this will work
fine
but have not used it.
