Re: OMC "C" lubricant
In the late 50's or early '60s, OMC came out with Type B oil to replace the hypoid 90, just like two cycle oil replaced the 16:1 or 24:1 mix of non-detergent 30 weight car oil. Type B evolved to Type C, then to HiVis, then now to UltraHPF. Other companies, not OMC, may say their lubes are 90W, but that is not the factory recommendation.<br /><br />Over the years, materials, lubes, plugs, procedures, and engines change. It is best to use the latest manufacturer's recommendations. Would you want your doctor to treat you using 1951 medical procedures?
