Two part question. I need to order some fluids before the tech can set up my VMC. Dug through the manual and found the diagram below.

First part:
I don't think I need grease for the ATC cam & spline or the grease cartridge since that should have been installed at the factory. What I do need appears to be for:
- the cam box, which I assume is for the ATC required 5 units of CC150 (looks like a light gear oil)
- air unit 0.05 units of FD22 oil (looks like a light oil that mixes with the air supply)
- 18l (4.76gal) of FC10 oil for the spindle/cooler

No units are specified, other than for the oil cooler. If I put my big brain on I would assume the units are liters, since that's matches up with the spindle oil volume. But, I don't want to mess something up.

Second part:
I have a small background in DIY automotive stuff and people are very particular about their fluids. Are there manufacturers I should avoid or should I just put in the most cost effective fluid as long as they meet the listed spec? e.g. CONCO for the spindle oil @ $125 vs Mobil1 @ $250

I guess order a few hundred bucks of fluid isn't worth the local supply shop's time. Sent a few email to get an estimate, no reply. They dropped off a gallon of Blaser for my first fill though. So I guess we're even? :)

Did some digging and found:
2x Mobil 1 Gal Bottle, Mineral Gear Oil ISO 150 on eBay sold by MSC $125
Mobil 105482 Mobil Velocite 6, Spindle Oil, 5 Gal. on eBay sold by Zoro tools for $238

Still trying to track down the Mobil DTE 22. 1-5 gallons would be okay since it looks like it's just a consumable air oil.
 
Just an update in case anybody else has the same silly question. It feels like the Doosan docs were written for the rest of world, a lot of the approved fluids aren't readily available in the US.

Local machine shop supply house doesn't appear to want my business. I guess I'm too small for their time. The only spindle oil they had was a crossover. So much for shopping local.

Here's what I ended up with:
- 5g Mobil DTE 22 from airlubricants.com for $100 + $35 shipping
- 5g Mobil Velocite No 6 from eBay via Zoro for $238 shipped
- 2g Mobil 600XP 150 from eBay via MSC for $125 shipped
