Default Lubricating Oil


Is anybody an expert on oil types?


I have a power feeder used on a woodworking machine:

http://www.ukfelder.co.uk/

Accessories -- Power Feeders - F48

These are OEMed from an Italian manufacturer, Maggi Engineering,
specialising in this type of equipment

Everything works well and documentation is readable, but at some point
maintenance lubrication will be needed.
Inevitably, Italian products are mentioned.

THere are two requirements on the machine:

a) A grease for the lubrication nipples on the wheel bearings.
This is mentioned as Athesia EP/2 IP grease.

I can't find a reference to that product, but I can find a reference
to EP2 and EP/2 grease from other vendors.

b) An oil for a sump in the body of the machine used to lubricate the
internal gears. For this, Oleoblitz EHT 16 or any other oil with
viscosity SAE 30.

I haven't been able to find oil of this type in the obvious places
like Halfords. It seems to be multigrade engine oil and not much
more.

Please can anybody shed light on what these lubricants are and suggest
some suitable products that are more reasily available.

thanks
