IMC index drives require high-quality, well-refined lubricants with extreme pressure additives. We ship index drives without oil to avoid potential leakage in transit, but provide a “bulls eye” oil level sight gauge and instructions for fill levels with each drive. Lubricants must meet these specifications: MIL-PRE-2105E or SAE 80W-140, ISO220 or AGMA5 with extreme pressure (EP) additives. Units that use grease rather than oil are shipped with the grease. Generally, IMC uses lithium grease such as Mobilith AW-2.
