Hi Brian,
I have an old Shell oil tin where I work and it is Printed
on the tin "Vitrea Oil.22, Replaces Vitrea Oil 21". I have looked on the
Shell website and it looks like Vitrea Oil 22 is available.
I hope this is of some Help to you

Best wishes,

Len

Hey all,
I sold a Colchester "Chipmaster" to a friend a while back. He wants
to do some maintenance on it, and can't find "Shell Vitrea 21" for the
variator. Because of the delicacy of the variator, he wisely wants to
get the proper oil. Anybody have either a supplier, a cross-reference
to it, actual/factual specifications for it, or a known good
substitute?
Take care.
Thanks.

Hi Brian. I need your expertise. Several weeks ago, I was using the
lathe, and cutting at a slow rpm to re-thread a soft bolt, and the
lathe went ffffttt. And quit. Got a hold of my friend Dan
Steinwender that owns Techlor Controls, and he came over, replaced two
fuses, and it runs. So I thought I'd do a service. Don't know what
to do about the oil in the machine, so I looked in the manual. No
help. So, I e-mailed the company in England. They sent me the same
page out of the manual. No help. So, I'm asking you and your friends
in the groups if they know what I can use in the Variator. Specs call
for Shell Vitrea 21. Shell doesn't help. Non-existant. What do you
think? I don't want to ruin anything. I appreciate the help.
Thanks, Bruce ps hope Frances is well, and you too.
