I changed my gear oil last night. Unscrewed bottom plug, then unscrewed top plug to get full flow. I put the hand pump for the oil in the bottom drain and filled and purged until I saw no more black coming out the top, only blue. (using Mercury high performance) I then put the top plug back in, NOT ALL THE WAY, gave a couple more pumps of the oil to make sure it was full and screwed the top plug all the way to seal.
I then unscrewed the hand pump fitting from the bottom to put the plug in, but oil gushed out like it was under too much pressure, instead of drizzling out like I thought it would with the top plug in. I screwed the bottom plug in quickly.
Has anyone ever heard of having too much gear oil? If so, should I open the bottom plug to let a little more drain out?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
