Best gearbox oil for 901 tranny?

I'm about to change the engine and gear box oil in my 1970 911T. What's the best transmission oil to use for the 5 speed 901 transmission? Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert and my car has a 915 but here is what my mechanic friend has said to me: 75% ordinary gear oil and 25% sweepco.

I'm only posting this as some guys with some knowledge may chime in on this. My friend worked in Germany at the Porsche factory for 3 years in a Porsche school/training program and he seems to be very knowledgable on the 911.

The most important thing is to keep it filled.
