I can not speak specificly on the Mk2 owners manual recommendation, but
I can say that 50-70's British transmissions with the Laycock overdrive
called for SAE30 *engine* oil. Note that engine oil and gear oil do
not use the same numbering index. The difference is not anywhere near
as severe as the numbers would seem to indicate. As a matter of fact, at
normal operating temps there is very little difference between these two.
