Gearbox oil

I’m doing an oil change on my ‘53 auto gearbox. My question is about the oil. It’s the 5speed GM box. Now I get 50% discount on GM oils. So what oil am I looking for? Is there a certain spec or is it just auto gearbox oil? Thanks

Help!

My issue is, I have a small diesel leak. It started after I had to have my front subframe replaced. Apparently it's a connector on top of my fuel injection pump? Does anyone know the name or part number for it?? It's a 2003 diesel.  TIA

I'm getting the dash blue light, possibly a good job I've got a 3 month warranty I think!
