Re: outdrive oil

Yes. although 90 seems a little thin depending on your local water temp.

That's all I've been using for the past 10 years in mine and no problems.

Too thin?
The OEM was an 80-90.

Howdy,

ANY 75-w90 (NON limited-slip type) synthetic oil will work fine as will any other SAE 80/90 hypoid gear oil....
(Mobil-1, VolvoPenta syn, Am$oil Marine, Merc-HP, etc etc)

Also, understand that there is no NMMA "marine" spec for gear oil (yet)


cheers,

Rick

The Merc Hi Performance gear lube is one of the best out there and will be fine; like I said I have used it for 10 seasons no problems
