1978 85hp Johnson tilt fluid questiion (85ETLR78C)

[deac1234]

Starboard trim cylinder started leaking when I left motor sitting part way up. I know it shouldn't leak but likely 'O' ring has failed but until I can get to it Lost enough fluid to create a fair sized puddle! I need to refill and bleed. (Tilt inop, tilt motor runs) Need to know what to fill it with. do I need find oil specific to Johnson's which require a bit of a drive, or can I use something from West Marine????

Thanks,

Kerry

Go to West Marine and get their P/TT fluid. You can also use ATF.
