it all depends on what you had in there before you drained it. If you had motor oil, stick with motor oil (MTL would be o.k. too, but why bother when motor oil obviously works well considering you have over 200k). BUT, if you had gear oil in there YOU MUST KEEP GEAR OIL IN THE TRANNY! If you had gear oil in there and put in motor oil, you can kiss that tranny good-bye. Get it out of there now! 5 to 10,000 miles and your tranny is done. If you need gear oil, the guys at Townsend Imports recommend the Mobile 1 synthetic 75w-90. That's what I put in my '85 SPG, and I have my fingers crossed. You can never switch from gear oil to anything else, but you can replace motor oil with motor oil or MTL.
Good Luck
