[Vince]

OK Guys ...I have read all the treads about oils and I am still confused about what oil I should be using for engine, Hydraulics and chain case ,...could someone please clarify,.I,m in Sydney Australia,..the weather does not get too cold !

Hey Vince, I'm from Brisbane.
Engine - use 15W40 diesel engine grade oil, it MUST be diesel grade.
Hydraulics - you can use the same oil as the engine or 20W50, essentially any engine oil. I run 20W50 in mine without any issues, i get it from super cheap when its on sale
Chain case - same as the hydraulics. The chains ans bearings are only moving as relatively slow speeds so you don't need anything special here. The biggest issue is water, check the oil and if the colour isn't rite you need to change it.

Nothing to do with Walmart, pretty small store too. Yes, its really a store called Supercheap Auto. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/
They have sales on every few months, oil especially is the one thing the discount which is a real asset for me at least, oh and de-greaser. The other items i don't think are that cheap, but they have lots of stuff.
