"I just picked up an older 6 hp Sea King model no. VWB 28906A and was wondering what year it is and what kind of gear oil/lube should I use in the lower unit, it is bone dry right now.

Thanks in advance!"

Try Evinrude or Johnson parts too! They work with this motor.Don't ask shops for SeaKing parts, they;ll look at you crosseyed. Ask for parts from Evinrude and Johnson that are comparable. You may have to take the part in to get a perfect fit."

Have a 6HP SeaKing Model VWB2796A , manual recommends a Non-Corrosive Leaded Outboard Gear Oil EP-90. Remove both upper and lover plug screws , fill from the bottom with nozzle till it comes out the top. Check again after 1/2 add if necessary. Should be drain and new oil every 100 hrs
