Recommended oil types for lubrication, clutch hydraulics and seal fluid

The propulsion unit uses well-known manufacturers mineral oils. The oils are EP-
additive based transmission oils meant for gear units under heavy load. The oil needs
to have good pressure durability and FZG – number > 12.

Recommended oils are:

BP Energol GR-XP 150

Esso Spartan EP 150

Texaco Meropa 150

Shell Omala 150

The purity grade of the used oil should be at least according to standard 17/14 ISO
4406. The oils from suppliers do not normally fulfill the required purity grade. To
achieve the required purity grade the oil is pumped, when filling the propulsor, through
a 10-micron fine filter.
