Used some cheapo engine oil recently. Can't comment on longevity but it seems to be working ok right now.

Main concern would be any apparent additives swelling plastic bits. I looked on a few forums saying that gearbox oil should be fine, but wondered if anyone had tried it

I'd not heard that. I have heard some concerns about incompatibility of some oils with yellow metals, which might be in bushings etc.
