Lofran's windlass question

Part of our recent refit was adding a 1500 watt Lofrans Tigress windlass. The oil in the sight glass is a bit low and the manual does not specify the grade of oil to add. My gut tells me to use 80/90 wt gear oil but what do you think or hopefully KNOW about windlass gear oil.
