Ok I think I can help :D

Yes it's totally fine on unleaded
It should use 15w40 semi synth but you can get away with 10w40
Yes there is a separate gearbox oil - I belive it's 80w90 non EP (very important it's non EP)
And the 3 spring thing is a resistor that controls the dip/main beam on your head lights


Hope that helps :)
