Penta sx-m 1.79 coupled to 350 vortec.

The marine store is closed tomorrow as it's a public holiday but we want to get out onthe loch to start breaking in the new engine. I want to change the outdrive oil before I go. Is there an oil I can purchase from my local autoparts storethat will be suitable in the mean time?

I have no idea how long the existing oil has been in there so would prefer not to risk running with the current lube.

Thanks for any advice,


Stan

GL-5 Synthetic.
No matter who makes it.

GL-5 stands for Gear Lube, grade 5.
