Newbie here with "new" used boat! I have a 1992 Mercury 135hp 6 cylinder with electric tilt/trim. There is an oil reservoir on the port trim side, and a large screw above it. What is the proper lubricant/oil to fill this, and is there any special instructions?

TIA!!!!

Use type A auto trans fluid or equivalent. Be sure to trim motor all the way up and move lock lever into position before removing screw. The system is under pressure in all positions except full up.

Hope this helps!
