Hi,
That will be HD90 gear oil. I have used EP90/140 multi-grade too with no problem.

As Fred says HD90 gear oil, I have just done my 3cx slew box, let it drain for a few hours, As if it has not been done for a while there will be a mixture of oil, water and sludge, I poured oil in with the drain plug out so I flushed more sludge though, you can get your finger inside the drain hole to pull the sludge out. They say do not refill to the brim leave about a thumbnails distance from the top of. The fill point.
