Default Renault 'box, correct oil.

Hi all, after noticing some damp spots around the gearbox while fitting my coilovers I figured it's probably a good idea to at least check the level, if not dump the lot and replace it with fresh stuff, just wondering what I should be using, I gather it's meant to be 75w80 and I've found an elf one, tranself nfj, that says it's for the Renault J series, which is the Renault code name for the box in these cars I believe, but that oil isn't gl5, only gl4+, and from what I have read I need gl5 rated stuff, so I'm at a bit of a loss, anyone know what's what here?

Thanks in advance
