I know this has been discussed before and seems to be that non EP oil as suggested in the Haynes manual is what should be used .
I think my gearbox may  have sae80/90 oil as this was put in by a local garage as I had a check over service when I got the car . It has not given me any problems so is it best to leave alone or should I change it ?.

Change it.
That oil is too stiff & you will end up ruining the syncro's.  Most probably 2 nd gear.
Engine oil is the correct weight.

Thanks for the advice , I am registered on GC forum so would accept his advice . It seems sensible to follow the factory advice and use non ep oil . Another job to do !.
