Couple quickies.
87 Rude 40hp. E40ELCUD.
Just did gear oil swap on lower unit for the 1st time since I've owned it.
The OMC shop gave me 2 clear whitish washers for the drain/fill plugs.
The ones on my plugs were a black rubber type. Different. So, i didn't switch them out.
Was i given the wrong product, or are these clear ones an updated washer? Too late now. But would like to know for next time.
Also, i see people using 80-90w gear oils or similar. Do i have to use the high priced Evinrude Hi-Vis or IS there a safe equivalent?
Thanks guys.
