I think you should pay attention to the requirements in the manual.

Most of those have slingers instead of seals. If the oil viscosity is
too high OR if it's too full, you'll be running oil like a faucet out
around the spindle.

Second, most of those are splash oiled. If so, they should only 'dip',
not run immersed. There should be only enough oil so that when the thing
is running (and thus, the oil level in the sump is lowest), there's still
just enough to get a full tooth dip on the bottom-most gears.

Let us know what happens if you fill it full with 90W gear lube G.
