Default Gearbox oil, what to use......?

As thread, the gearbox oil in my 03 WRX is sitting just above minimum and it's not due it's third service until jan next year so need to get some oil for topping up purposes.
Been on to my local Subaru dealer who tell me they don't sell oil in 0.5 or 1 litre cans for this purpose so am therefore stuck for what to use .
They did say that what they have is Shell Spirax 75w 90 but can't seem to find this available for retail.
So anyone got some suggestions, as stated I only need something for topping up purposes not going down the route of drain down and re-fill.

Cheer's .

Mark.

Castrol Driveline is 75w90 and readily available in 1 litre bottles - used to be called Syntrax but its the same stuff. You won't go wrong with that.
