Hi David. Use proper gearbox oil.
Your Dexron oil is for Automatics and I think it would not be suitable for your Manual gearbox. Gear oil basics: Incorrectly using ATF in a manual transmission or gear oil in an automatic transmission can severely increase the wear and tear. ATF does not have the thick lubrication qualities needed in a manual gearbox, and gear oil does not contain all the additives needed to smoothly run an automatic transmission. |

You can never change your oil too much, be it Engine or Gearbox.
