[Amel] zinc on rudder - motor or gear oil

Pat the gear box gets 40W motor oil. That's what Amel uses. Amel uses 2 zincs on the rudder. We have the same issue one goes fast the other seems not to get to much loss.

I just replaced my shaft oil seals and can not remember whether I should use motor oil or gear oil.The placard on the reservoir is in french, the only thing I understand is SAE 20 -40.
