Does anyone know the actual specification of the oil/grease used? I have access to oil and grease at work, and if I dont have to buy it, why should I!!!!!
Cheers, Graham.

No reason at all, assuming you also have access to cheap gears, bearings and casings!

That is why I was trying to find the spec!!!!!
I've heard of people using ep80 with no problems.
One of the oils we use is a fully synthetic oil from mobil which is over and above ep80. API GL-5 where as ep80 is only API GL-4.
