I was on the lake today and at first could not drop down my outdrive, noticed that trim motor was buzzing but nothing happened, so i looked at the trim motor oil container and it was almost emptyx first im not 100% sure as to what kind of liquid/oil does it use, common sense says should be something similar to the dot 3 break fluid, but again im not sure. Anyways since i had only 1/2 a pint of car 10w30 oil and needed the outdrive down, i poured about a pint of this oil. The trim worked and lowered the drive and then lifted it , but im still very suspicious at this substitute. So my questions are: what could ive damaged, what should i do with the wrong? oil and what should i replace it with? Thx
