Guys,
Thanks for your help. I ordered 10L of the ISO 46. Apparently many are happy with ISO68 in hotter climates than mine, as I'll be operating the machine in as low as 5°C in winter, I went for the slightly lighter weight.
Other things I have collected and might be of some use to others :
- Mobil DTE heavy medium appears to be an ISO68 hydraulic oil, HL type (with active ingredients to increase the corrosion protection and resistance to aging)
DTE medium is impossible to find but appears to be ISO 46
DTE light is ISO 32
- mobil DTE "numbered" serie is the HM version of the "named" serie. HM: same as HL plus ingredients to reduce wear due to scoring in the mixed friction area.
Still non detergent.
DTE Number 24 is ISO 32
25 is ISO 46
26 is ISO 68
DTE "numbered" is often proposed as an alternative for machine oil to "named" DTE serie.
Basically I have purchased a close match to DTE 25 oil, just a different brand.
Now that I'm done with oil baths, moving on the way lube and gears grease.
Vactra 2 is recommended all the time for lubricating ways.
Any recommendation on the gears grease i should use ? I can easily find lithium based universal grease or white lithium grease also.
cheers
