I have the 1949-1951 Ford Book from the Early Ford V8 Club but won't get until March 22 and I did not find this in the Motors manual. Can you help me?

What weight of Lube do I need to put in the rear banjo of a 1951 Ford Custom?

What weight of lube do I need to put in manual transmission of 1951 Ford Custom?

Thank You!

I used 90wt gear oil in my 41 ford pick up.

Would the owners manual give that info? I would use a good multi-weight 90-140 if it is available.

On my 50 I drained and refilled with 80-90 gear oil and also left enough room to add a little lucas oil supplement I have it in the trans and overdrive section and the rear axle did this about 23 years ago and has @ twenty thousand miles and still looks like new when i ck it

I used 90 weight oil from Napa in my manual transmission.
Thinking of a multi weight in the rear end. 90-140 as mentioned.
