"Seconds Saybold Universal" is a measurement of viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of the oils resistance to flow. SSU the amount of oil that flows a given distance in a given time at a given temperature. 
 
Mobile DTE 26 has an SSU of 300 at 100oC. That said  any 20 weight oil would probably work.
 
If possible I would contact the manufacturer for a recommendation.

Saybolt Seconds Universal (SSU) is used to measure viscosity or a substances resistance to flow. It is not measured in F or C but at F or C. That said, I should have said 100degreesF or 38degreesC not 100degreesC

Umm info is incorrect - 300 SSU you should be using 50wt gear oil
