"Alwasy use Marine lower unit

"Alwasy use Marine lower unit oil and nothing else. It's avaiable at WalMart, etc.

Read the label to be sure it is for Marine Lower Units!!

I always use Walmart Marine lo

I always use Walmart Marine lower unit oil. Stop by your marine supply store and buy a pump that makes it easy. It should cost about $8.00. I do my engines in the fall before the cold weather comes and at the same time the engine gets fogged.
Hint: Sometimes at the end of the boating season your local Walmart has end of season stock of lower unit oil as well as TWC 3 for that old engine. Buy it when it is on sale and save it for the next spring season. I always have a couple of gallons of both on hand. Good luck
