Hi,
I just replaced the oil seals at the bottom of my water pump base in my mercury 60hp outboard, i have read that its important to coat the oil seals with needle bearing assembly lubricant but i dont have any. i wont be able to get some for another day or 2, how important is it to use the needle bearing assembly lubricant, can i get away with using another oil or grease or should i wait to buy the suggested oil. thanks joe
