Wondering what the story is with ETEC gear oil. Do I need to change like the old models to insure that there?s no water in the gear case. Motor has been used one season with outside winter storage?


Also, what about those fuel additives I used to add. 2-4 , carb guard, etc. Should I be using them during the season? I hear there are enough detergents in the oil (50) to keep things inside clean.

Re: Etec Gear Oil

review your service manual, i would assume the gear oil should be check, but next time do it in the fall before the first freeze, could save a cracked lower unit.
