PM932 lube

[srfallsallot]

Hi all
PM932 with power down feed. My manual states "ISO68 or SEA 80-90 auto gear oil". Charts show that ISO68 is SAE W20 Which is it?

The power down feed has an oiler on the top of the box. What oil goes in there? How much. Does the gear box oil the power down feed? Not the visible gears.

Here's a recent thread:

SAE 68 gear oil for PM-932M gear box

I am sure this has been discussed but the search feature says my search is too short so, I just got as PM-932M-PDF and am about to do the break in procedure for the gear box. What kind and brand of SAE 68 oil are you all using? I have heard that its better to use non synthetic but not sure...

The first question has been answered before. The second question has not been answered.

The gear box oil does not lubricate the PDF. I just squirt a bit of way oil in there while it's running, occasionally depending on how much I use it. Can use the same oil you put in the head. It's not meant to hold oil for splash lubrication so not very much is needed.

Thanks. That is what I thought. I just cannot find any documentation.
