Re: Out Drive Oil
I would open the fill/lower hole, let the oil spill out and start all over. It's just 1/2 quart you put it in last year. Also this way it's empty, you will know exactly how much is going inside. How di you put the oil last year? From the top?<br /><br />I bought for $7 an oil drive pump. At the nozzle it has threads so you can screw the hoze right into the hole, like a bolt. The pumping and weight of the oil will come oozing back out if you have no control, but the hose will stay put if you thread it on. The other end of the pump you screw it on the mouth of the oil bottle. Just keep pumping. If you ran short, get another quart and pump until oil comes out of the vent/upper hole (then you know it's full).Close the vent hose when there's no evidence of air in the oil. Then close the lower hole. Make sure the outdrive is in down position as you do this. <br /><br />First time I did this refilling last month, I did not trust myself. It was nothing at all.
