Ep140 alternative?

[birdxa]

Hello. The gearbox on my tiller calls for sae140 ep and I am having no luck finding it, is there an alternative oil that I can use? Thanks in advance.

With the SAE I’m thinking they’re calling for something like an 85W-140 automotive gear oil. Should be readily available at your local auto parts store in various package sizes.

They don’t list anything else for the specification right?

greaseguy15 is correct that a multi-viscosity product will work fine, but I was shocked that a Google search shows that you can still get a straight 140 grade. A few places stock it, I.E., Oreilly's.

It literally just states "ep140" which the sae140 can be had, its the extreme pressure that is hard to find in a timely manner! But thank you both, I appreciate it!

Pretty much all gear oil says extreme pressure on the label. I have used 75w-140 in both my 3 point tiller and walk behind for years.

There is an oil called Rotorgear which is a SAE140, but is made for rotortilts on excavators.
