    SAE 50 TO-4 is what you're looking for, there's no such thing as 50W. TO-2 oil no longer exists. Don't use EP (80W/90 or similar) oil under any circumstances because it will rot the silicone rubber toric rings in the Duo Cone seals.

    50w I think is just our slang here Nige that is what I have always heard when refering to drive train oils
