Default What oil is recommended for the Mitchell Synchro gearbox

I serviced one of my cars yesterday in preparation for a 1,000 mile run. It is my only car with the Mitchell synchro gearbox fitted. The oil was an inch or more down from the filler hole so I topped it up. Through force of habit, I used the same oil that I use in the standard gearboxes and now I wonder if I did the wrong thing I used a 250 grade transission oil by Penrite. Do Mitchells recommend an EP oil or the standard oil? If I used the wrong one, I'll drain it and refill with EP GL5 oil, if that is what is supposed to be what's in there. I've done no miles on it yet so now would be the time to fix it if I screwed up.
