oil line to gear box has come away while at sea.<br />Is it safe to run engine oil to substitute until back in?

(I'VE JUST FOUND THIS SITE AND AM LOOKING ON BEHALF OF MY HUSBAND!) GEARBOX IS 350ZF.<br />HE'S CLAMPED THE BREAK AND IS MOVING..SLOWLY..HAS BEEN TOLD ENGINE OIL WON'T HARM ANYTHING IF 'GO SLOW' MODE APPLIES. VESSEL IS A 50FOOT 'WESTCOASTER' 20 ODD TONS. HE SAID HE WILL FLUSH IT WHEN HE GETS IN. IS ABOUT 50KMS OFFSHORE

sorry I fell asleep on ya. yes engine oil will work ok in that box. if run at speed it may foam some and spit out the vent. tell him I am thinking on him. ben there and done that myself<br /> single engine ops are no fun but its better than no engine opererations.
