approved substitute for yamaha tilt and trim fluid

[RobG]

Just curious if the dealer doesn't have any yamaha tilt and trim fluid what would be the alternative to use. The yamaha service manual refers to hydraulic fluid and atf fluid in different sections.

Thanks

Yamaha recommends Dexron II automatic transmission fluid.

Robert,

Thanks for the quick response. The tilt and trim I have is from an '07 90tlr. I was going to replace the upper seals on the tilt cylinder since I developed a little seep and wanted to make sure. The fluid coming out had a clear, yellow look to it, and that's why I was worried about adding the "red" version afterwards.

Thanks again

Rob
