    Swing motor oil

    Hey there, I'm working on a yanmar vio 20 and got a new swing motor. My question is do I need to fill it with oil, or is it lubricated by the oil flowing through it? There is no dipstick and only a couple small plugs on the side.

    I have a 97 cat 308, the sliding door won’t stay open. When I first got it, it was hard to close. Sprayed it with WD-40 Worked great for a while, now won’t stay open. I’ve tried adjusting the door up and down, took it off and lever looks fine not bent or anything. Any ideas? TIA!!
