Hi,
Assuming it has a BE3 variant gearbox, you have to be a little careful with oil choice. It should be a 75W/80 viscosity and no thicker, otherwise you'll find trouble engaging gears in the cold and you risk synchromesh damage. BE gearboxes are very fussy about oil.
The best oil to use is Total BV but the Comma 75W/80 expressly intended for Pug/Cit gearboxes is fine.
You may find the Millers TRX 75W/90 OK if you really want to use Millers oil. My friends over on the 205GTidrivers forum have used similar stuff with apparant good results.
Personally, I'd play safe and use only the Total BV oil or the Comma equivilent. The jury is still out over just how happy BE3 'boxes are with synthetic oil in them. The BE3 is a very old fashioned design of gearbox.
