RX DI Violent Shaking

Looks like the guy who rebuilt it forgot to add oil to the gear case since it has been 10hrs after the rebuild.

To prevent this in my GTX, i want to add a bit of oil to it. I have no idea what kind of oil is in there right now but if I just throw some XPS gear oil in there, will it hurt anything if the oils don’t match?

Probably not, the manual should say what oil is recommended and that is more than likely what is in it.

Suck out the old oil and put in new standard HD 30W motor oil.

Correct me if I am wrong, the crankshaft seals seal off the crank gear and the counterbalance gear so that any oil stays in the cavity of the gears only.

How is the rest of the crank shaft/counterbalance lubricated? The connecting rods and air pump connecting rod in particular.

Here are the 3 oils I have available here at Canadian Tire. Which would you guys use?

The rest is lubricated by the 2 stroke oil, use the HD30
