I have been doing some research to try to find a gearbox oil that i can use instead of the TMO 150. The TMO is very expensive. i have heard of some people using EP 320 but i havent seen anything to verify that it is ok to use. Does anybody know of any alternatives?

hello! Sorry but my english isn't ok.
In Psa Argentina we use shell omala 150 o tivella 150 for the replacement of the kyodo yushi tmo 150 -
They switched oils from Shell Omala(previously called Tivella) to TMO back in late 2008 and with that the service interval doubled from 12,000 hrs to 24,000 hrs
There is a service bulletin recommending to switch from Shell Omala/Tivella to TMO even on the older robots due to the superior qualities of TMO v.s. Omala.Gearboxes aren't exactly cheap so it's up to you to decide how often you'd like to change oil and how much you're willing to pay for it.
