Default ppg gears, what oil

hey guys, im building a straight cut 1-4 gear set for my rex.....What oil are you boys using for these gears?

was thinking of using Castrol Syntrax 75/90 full synthetic as I dont pay for Castrol products...

Is there anything I should look out for with the ppg set or are they the way to go these days.

cheers all

there is your answer - change it every service/6 months - you're not paying for it.
