Questions on Lubricants

newfarmer9 · Jan 17, 2016

Hey all,

Working on servicing my JCB backhoe and had some questions about lubricants. This is what the owners manual calls for:

Engine- JCB T/C Oil Type C3- International Spec SAE10W
Shuttle reverser- JCB T/C Oil Type C3- International Spec SAE10W
Gear box- JCB Super X- International Spec SAE20W20

I assume this means the engine and shuttle reverser use the same oil. Seems strange to me. Should I used 10W30 engine oil in both? And where would I find 20W20 oil? I don't think I've ever seen it for sale.

Thanks for any help.

20 20W was a very first effort at multi wt oil. I would use 10 30 in all of those locations (no guarantee, just an opinion) Jim
