Does anyone know what oil should go in these and how to fill them new to the machine on kevernland siloking

Think it's ep90 in our strautman. Gearboxes will all be the same. Do you not fill that reservoir at the top?

They take a long time to settle after changing the oil (airlock I guess) but eventually stop needing much topping up.

Our siloking was special synthetic gearbox oil. I think we used it once then 80-90 standard stuff after that. Scary expensive.
Pump it in I think or fill very slowly. Probably a plug underneath to allow air out for a while. Think it has a breather under the auger but can’t remember and spec varies depending on model.

Unscrew the hexagon pipe on top of the bottle. Leave breather cap at top alone. Takes 80/90 gear oil, fill to max mark and leave to sink it may take a few goes over days to get level to stay constant if its low.

When we have ours serviced they pump it straight into the gearbox with an electric pump. Apprently the reservoir is not for filling with.

I was told this when we had one years ago. I think its to do with making sure enough oil actually reaches the gearbox as its not exactly the best flowing stuff & the risk of air locks.

It's hard work pumping it in the bottom, but the only way to refill it. It still requires some time to settle so the reservoir will need a few top-ups.
