General Information and Specifications
2.6.4 Lubrication Points (Grease Fittings)
a. Lubricants
When lubricating any component via the grease fittings,
use multi-purpose, lithium-based grease with EP
additives that meets NLGI Grade-2 specifications.
Products known to meet these requirements include:
• AMOCO AMOLITH EP2

Note: Refer to the appropriate Owners/Operators
manual for the maintenance schedule and checklist for
lubrication intervals and grease fitting locations.
2.6.5 Hydraulic System
a. Hydraulic Fluids
The hydraulic system is factory-filled with ISO Grade 46
anti-wear hydraulic oil. When filling the hydraulic system,
use an anti-wear hydraulic oil meeting ISO Grade 46 with
-40° F (-40° C) pour point/ASTM viscosity SUS 215 at
100° F (38° C), or a 10W motor oil that meets the
requirements of U.S. ordinance specification MIL-L-2104C.
Products known to meet these requirements include:
ISO-46 HYDRAULIC OIL
• GULF HARMONY 46 AW
• AMOCO RYKON 46
• MOBIL DTE-25
• ARCO DURO AW S-215
• SHELL TULLUS 46
• BENZ PETRAULIC 46-7C
• SUN SUNVIS 821 WR
• CHEVRON AW HYDRAULIC OIL 46
• TEXACO RANDO HD 46
• CITGO PACEMAKER XD-46
SAE 10W MOTOR OIL

Note: For -30° F to +70° F (-34° C to +21° C), 5W20
motor oil with -50° F (-45° C) pour point can be substituted.
However, above 70° F (21° C), hydraulic system oil must
be changed to ISO-46 hydraulic oil or SAE 10W motor oil.

2.6.6 Engine
a. Engine Fluids and Lubricants
1. Engine Oil:
Diesel Engine Oil, SAE 15W40
In general, use a premium-quality, 15W40 diesel engine
(motor) oil. Additives are not necessary. For most climates,
use 15W40 motor oil that at least meets the
manufacturers minimum recommended oil specifications
as defined in their operator manual. In cold climates
where ambient (outside air) temperatures are
consistently below 32° F (0° C), refer to the engine
manufacturers operator manual for alternative oils.
2. Cooling System (engine coolant):
In general, use a 50/50 mix of premium-quality ethylene
glycol (commonly referred to as “anti-freeze/anti-boilover”)
and water. Additives are not necessary.
