The angle gearbox is lubricated with 0.7 L (0.18 US gal) of SHELL SPIRAX A extreme-pressure oil for
mechanical transmissions with viscosity grade SAE 80W90 and API grade GL5.
When draining and refilling, it is recommended to use either a mineral base oil with viscosity grade
SAE 80W90 and API grade GL5, or a synthetic base oil, type PAO (Poly-Alpha-Olefins) with a viscosity
grade equivalent to SAE 80W90.
