are you draining it out and refilling or just topping up?
I did alot of reading into which oil to use on here, passionford and talking to mates. The geneal opinion was that if you are topping up use whats already in use and dont mix.
If your starting fresh then use what ever you think is best. Some use any semi some use gl4 some use atf. Personally i use gl4 75-90. Comma oil comes highly recommended.
