Oil type for my Planer
Jim in Burlington Ont.
Hi All,
I suppose I could look this up on line but I'd rather ask those with experience. I have a General 14" planer, it's been unused now for 7 years. I am thinking I should drain and replace the gear oil in the side reservoir. I am not sure what is the right type of oil to replace the used oil with... thoughts?
Thanks,
Take care, Jim

Hi Jim:
According to my manual 90 wt. gear lubricant. Fill to level of rear plug. If I recollect correct the last time I changed oil in the gearbox I used Mobil gear lubricant 90 wt., non-detergent.
Cheers and stay well.

That's what my old Delta 15" called for, too.
