We used to use nothiong but ATF in our rover V8 engines and gearboxes when drag racing.
Changed it after every meet though.
Also used it to flush the hydraulic lifters on our V8 sherpa van with out taking them out if one of them was sticking.
You could use thicker oil but you would have trouble changing gear as the synchros would not work properly. Also not sure about the additives in EP oils.

when i built my 300tdi 90, i put ep90 in the r380 gearbox
however it was hard to get gears when she was cold, i didnt do many miles and then changed to MTF and boy what a difference it made to selecting the gears
IMHO use MTF oil, you only need about 3 ltrs
