4.3L MPI V6 - Oils Check and Oils type

[marcoalza]

Hi,

I need some important advice regarding which oils to use on my Q4.

• Engine Oil I can deal with.
• Drive oil needs toping up, which oil to use?
• The oil reservoir tucked away to the port side of the engine compartment.
  What is that for and what oil do I use?

Is there anything else I should be checking oil level wise?

Cheers

[*]Drive oil needs toping up, which oil to use?

I use the Quicksilver Hi Perf. Always served me well.
Check out this link.

[*]The oil reservoir tucked away to the port side of the engine compartment.

If im thinking of the right one, its the reserve tank for the outdrive. There should be a hose from it to the top of the drive. Check this link.

Thanks Bifflefan.

So the drive oil is Gear Lube, (can't Get quicksilver here)

The Outdrive reserve tank uses which oil?

Is there any other oil to check bar the engine oil?
