Final drive oil for JS200

digdig ยท 2017-05-11 18:02

JCB say to use HP 90 gear oil for the slew and final drives. Noone locl to me seems to know what this is or carries it. Anyone know what spec I can use like maybe EP 80w/90? Is a GL5 oil ok?

    As always I recommend CAT TDTO 50 or equivalent, YMMV.

    Great, thanks for that folks. Funny how something so simple as calling oil something non standard causes people to say they dont have it;-) Of course it turns out most places have API-GL-5.
