The only recommended oil you should use apparently.. VERY hard to get hold of in Australia.. whereas in the US ..it practically comes out of the tap!.
There are other that meet the spec... You just have to put in the work to track down which they are. I did a few years ago, but can't remember what I used off hand. It has to do with the bronze bushings in the synchros, I heard. They don't like it without the special Mercedes mix to the spec. (Yes, it's a Merc gearbox.)
