It depends on what your owners manual OR your Haynes or Chilton's manual says. Some trannies use a lighter weight oil than that. Some on the other hand actually use automatic tranny fluid. My tranny in my '86 Cavalier used 5-30 weight oil, not gear oil.
you can use 90 weight gear oil if that,s what it calls for. some takes automatic transmission fluid.
Yes , most run 80w90 I use it in mine and it is a 2001
