Re: 1976 9.9 Johnson lubrication ??
Good Morning Rattle........I will jump in here and see if I can answear your questions. When you say lubricating oil I am assuming you mean for your lower unit. Go to Canadian Tire and get their gear case oil. It's probably the cheapest place to get it from and it's good stuff. Go to a boat dealer and spend $19.00 on a hand pump to put the oil in with. Best money you will ever spend. When you look at the side of your motor, you will see 3 screws. The top flat head screw is your vent plug, then there is a phillips head screw which you do not want to touch..........again........do not touch the phillips head screw!!!!!!!!!!!! then the lower screw,flat head is your fill and drain plug. To drain the lower unit, remove the vent plug just above the anti caviation plate first and then the fill plug from the gear housing. Never remove the plugs if drive unit is hot. The phillips screw securing the shift fork is close to the drain plug and it's bad news if you loosen that screw or take it out. If you do, just go out and shoot yourself. According to the manuals, you should change this lower gear lube twice a year. Insert the oil or hopefully you get the habnd pump into the fill/drain hole(bottom screw) and inject until it comes out the top hole then put in top plug first and very quickly remove the pump from bottom hole and put in screw. Hope this helps you out with your questions. Remember, the hand pump is well worth the $19.00. Happy boating.....Ed
