30wt oil is certainly better than NO oil, but gear boxes usually use a

Go to the mfg's website and have a look at the service manual for your
particular device. Assuming you need to use heavier oil I do not think
you'd need to flush your system...merely draining it and properly
disposing of the old oil should suffice.

Guess I could look up "trommel". I'd also been
thinking heaver. What's the speed of the box?
Slow speed, or high? Might work on hypoid
gear lube.

Fill with large hypoidermic syringe.
Hypoidermic, get it?
