Something like this will be ideal Silkolene BOA 90 LS High Performance Gear And Limited Slip Differential Oil

if changing the gearbox oil i would only put castrol syntrac oil back in works very well in the scooby 5 speed boxes and makes the gear change not as notchy as most scooby gearboxes are worn .try doing a search
