This one mate.
Hi Apples, I had look through the manual and yes it mentions Gear Oil. The gear Oil will have a thinner viscosity and will work better in the fast moving parts where they have recommended it.

Interesting actually. I rebuilt my lowmount and just used CV grease everywhere, when I put it on the car and unlocked the free spool I couldn't pull out the rope. The slip friction from the thick grease locked it up. I stripped out the winch and swapped the CV grease for I think LMM grease to those moving parts and it made a huge difference. Next time I strip it out I will use gear oil.

When in doubt read the manual.......
