I have this same motor.. 100ESL72<br /><br />the proper oil for the lower unit is:<br /><br />OMC Premium blend Gearcase oil..<br /><br />It states on the back of the bottle that its for electric shift lower units.. (it is non damaging for the insulation...).<br />and its not that expensive..<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Frank
