What sort of oil goes in slew motors and do you add it down the hole where the dip stick goes? please excuse my ignorance its my first excavator [just for our farm]--only had it a week and it is an ex quarry machine with a lot of hours.

On my Terex Atlas duck it takes gear oil same as my axles and hubs LS80w-90
and yes mine fills down the dipstick hole.
What sort of machine is it, it might make a difference.
