Most gear boxes use gear oil. It is a thicker oil than the engine uses. I would contact a mower repair shop to see what weight oil is used in your mower.

I know this sounds really strange, but sniff the plug. If it really stinks, that's 90w gear oil. If it doesn't really stink too bad, it's grease.
