[Peugeot-L] 86 505 Turbo: Transmission oil question

Hello. I just changed the oil in my 5 speed transmission. There were some metal particles on the magnetic drain plug. two quarts of dirty oil came out.

I replaced the oil with Castrol 10/40 mineral based engine oil.

It seems to me that the transmission is making more noise, this Onworries me...shifting is about the same. Acceptable but might be smoother.

Should I try another type of oil?

I use Royal Purple 20w-50 in the engine, which I believe has about 300k on it and still runs rather well, with just a puff of smoke when starting from cold. Synthetic is tempting for the transmission, but it may be unsuitable.
