Welcome to the forum,
Some folks like SAE 30, some like 20W-50, some like Red Line MT-90, & some like Red Line MTL. Any of these will work ok.

Hi Pete,
5,000 isn't much compared to those who have well over 10,000.

Congratulations, Dave.
I've been running straight 30 weight for some years now with no problems. There has been discussions about some oils used and I can't remember just how it went, but it was either a synthetic or one of the Red Line oil, (please excuse me if I do't have the products quite right) but it went something like the lighter oils or more slippery oils caused the synchronisiers to not work as well because they were to slippery. A local friend, having just restored a MGB used some such oil, and after were talking about it because I had read it somewhere, he said, he was experiencing similar characteristics. He changed out the oil to straight 30# and the shifting got smoother. But i can't remember what he had in there.
