Hi all, I just picked up a 1990's Suzuki DT15 outboard and I had a few questions hoping you can help me with:
1. MotorOil. It calls for TCW2, but I understand TCW3 is the new standard. Is this ok to use and is there a preferred type you guys use?
2. Gear Oil. What type of SAE90 oil do you guys like best? Is synthetic ok to run in the older motors?
3. Flushing. I notice the "telltale" hole isn't flowing as much water as it should, can I hook a hose to the flush port to clean it out while the motor is off? I'd prefer to get things flowing rather than running the engine if its not cooling enough.
I'd truly appreciate your feedback with my questions.
Thanks.
