suzuki power tilt/trim

[cddetelich]

I have two Suzukis-an 85 and a 115. Both tilt/trim motors need oil. Everybody has different advice-what oil should I use and is there a proper way to add oil so I don't get air bubbles. Is there a way to bleed these motors if needed?

My service manual for DF90 and DF115 four strokes recommends DexronIII ATF or equivalent. 1.To bleed air, make sure manual release valve is tightened to specified torque (2.6lb.-ft) 2.Operate PTT switch, raising and lowering motor(full tilt to full trim down) 4 to 5 times. 3. Check oil level, topping off if necessary. 4.Reinstall oil filler plug. Hope this helps (I'm not an expert)

Dextron III instead of SuperTech Tilt/Trim fluid? Is this the same for a 1983 DT 140 Tilt & Trim motor? Also - do you have any valve body diagrams?
