tilt/trim lube

[bassnron]

I have a general question for you all. The manual for for my 91 evinrude 150gleis contradicts itself as far as what lube to use in the trim reservoir . on pages 9-16 and 9-34 under routine inspections it says OMC power trim/tilt and power steering fluid or GM dextronII. However, on page 1-11 it says to use hi-vis gearcase lube in the power trim/tilt res...

Which is correct? The fluid in the res. is "brownish" in color now and I really don't want to mix if I can avoid it. By just shaking the bottles of fluids, the pt/t fluid is obviously thinner than "gearlube". Does anyone have any suggestions? or possibly the color of OMC pt/t fluid.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Ron

Walley World sells power trim/tilt fluid or you can use power steering fluid or the Auto transmission fluid never hear of using gearcase lube in PT systems.

Will Bark is correct.
Just double checked the manual for my J150EXECD and they recommend OMC Power Tilt/Trim and Power Steering Fluid(one product). They also stated that GM Dextron II automatic transmission fluid is an acceptable substitute.
