I use 30 weight engine oil in my 61 +4 tranny. I don't have the manual with
me but I remember the reason was the straight cut gears didn't need the
hypoid and the syncro's are spun by face pressure and are not as effective
with the hypoid gear oils. By the way, my moss box does get quite warm (>
50 C as the dip stick gets to hot to handle).
