[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3381, member: 82"] They use the same oil in the chain case as you use in the hydraulics. Its basically just standard 10W30 or 10W40 engine oil. In the chain case, all it has to do is lubricate the chains, sprockets and bearings, nothing flash. I just run castrol RX super all round, engine, hydraulics and chain case. It just keeps things simple, you can even use it in your truck engine. There is no reason you can't run cheap generic engine oil in the chain case. From what i'm told, bobcat just buy whatever oil is cheap (and within specification) at the time and sell that as their own brand. As for the different oils for the hydraulics and engine they sold you, the engine MUST run a disel grade oil, but the hydraulics do not require this. Thats why you got 2 different oils, the engine oil will be more expensive no doubt. At least you know you have the correct oil. I hope this is of at least some help. [/QUOTE]
