I have three manuals for my 1989 King Cobra and every one of them recommends different hydraulic fluid for the trim/tilt system. One manual says "use automotive oil with specification SAE 30", another manual tells me to use transmission fluid type F, the third one recommends solemnly marine power trim/tilt fluid.<br /><br />Up until now, I have always believed that transmission fluid and engine oil were different. The manuals caused a pretty big confusion to me.<br /><br />If you know, can you please explain to me what the proper fluid is and why the manuals mention different types?<br /><br />Thank you very much<br />Lou
