I have spent the last hour reading the workshop manual and this is all Ive found regarding gear box oil, see below. Would a fully sythetic 75w-90 gear lubricant suit my 1988 cobra stern drive?



The oil in the stern drive should be changed at least every 50 hours of
operation or twice a season on Cobra and King Cobra drives,100 hours of
operation or once a season on SPIDP drives; whichever comes first. It's
never a bad idea to change the fluid in your unit more frequently, particularly
if you use your boat in severe service conditions. OMC recommends using
only OMC Hi-Vis Gear Case Lubricant in 1986-93 drives, OMC Ultra HPF
Gear Case lube in 1994-95 drives, and Mobilube 1 SHC Fully Synthetic SAE
75W-90 gear lubricant in 1996-98 units. Never substitute regular automotive

I use Mobil 1 75W/90 per Don S with good results

You can use the Merc blueish green High Performance gear lube...I use it at my mechanic's recommendation and its more available than the OMC gear oils....
