Last November I bought a used Kato HD450VII excavator. Appart from the hassles of getting a water pump for it, the machine runs very well. I've done a few engine oil changes (pulled the oil pan and cleaned out the pick up tube), removed the arm cylinder and had new seals installed and greased the machine every 4-6 hours of use. When I got the machine, I had a local guy change the oil in the swing drive, track drives and in the Hydraulic system but now he has left the area and I don't fancy paying shop prices as I'm confident that I can do the work myself.
Question - What kind of oil should I use in the Swing drive and in the track drives and where can I obtain it from. Around me, I have NAPA, Autozone, Advance Auto Parts and Tractor supply (who told me to put Hydraulic oil in the swing drive and track drives).
Thanks for reading.
