My Clausing 8540 specifies Shell Tellus No. 29 Hydraulic Oil for the
variable speed drive and S.A.E No. 140 Hypoid Extreme Pressure Oil for
the hypoid gears.

I think that Valvoline 85W/140 HP Gear Oil can replace the S.A.E. No.
140 and I believe that a Mobile DTE24 hydraulic oil in an ISO32 can
replace the Shell Tellus No. 29 Hydraulic Oil. I cannot locate any
specs on the Shell Tellus No. 29 Hydraulic Oil.

Any suggestion or disagreement with these replacement fluids?
Thanks, Steve

Email Mobil - they responded pretty quickly with their equivalents for the
Shell lubes listed in the mnaual for a Clausing 5900 series lathe. A call
to Clausing would probably get the same info quicker.
