Gearbox oil obv, its weight will be defined in the owners manual or a Haynes manual chap.

its a manual gearbox, it needs manual gearbox oil!

GM in their infinate wisdom use ATF (DEXRON III) in their manual gear boxes (except the F23).

but 75/90 gear oil will work (although might be a touch thick on cold days)
