Ok.
The auger box needs grease, but I thin it with oil. The main box needs a 50/50 mix of grease and oil. I suggest mixing red wheel bearing grease with synthetic 80W-90 until it is about the consistency of wet pudding. You should be able to pour it, but not a liquid. I put the same in the auger box, but that's your call. DO NOT use straight oil in either. They are not meant for oil, it will all leak out. I think straight grease is too heavy. Take it from someone who had to rebuild an auger drive.... it can be expensive. They only make some of the parts still, not all.
