M33 & M45 series Quad .50 Mount Maintenance

I own two TM manuals for the Maxson manufactured, M45D Quad mount that is in
the M16 half-track.
Unfortunately, I seem to have put them in such a "safe" place that I have
not been able to locate them in the past couple of weeks.

I have the turrett out of the half-track and I am servicing the gearboxes on
the bottom of the turrett.
Does anyone know what viscosity the oil needs to be in the small gearboxes
on the bottom of the turrett?

If I'm not able to find the TM and if the list has no specific advice, I was
planning on using GL-4, 80w-90.

Thanks,
