Re: outdrive oil

If you are going to do any work on your own, I would recommend purchasing a repair manual for it. There is a lot of good information inside from what type of fluids and (more important) how much, on up to rebuilding the whole engine. A worthwhile investment of around $35. I write down part numbers of stuff in the back and keep track of what was replaced and when, just so it is all in one place.

Re: outdrive oil

What marooned said, CLYMER B770 covers your model, it reccomends light engine oil in a 270 (10w30 or 10w40)minimum SG rating. It will take approx. 2.8 qts. When using the dipstick, don't screw it in to check level.
