Right .The fill vent is there to top it off.or fill it after you drain it.
The very bottom of the drive is the drain.There is a screw head on the side you don't want to EVER touch.See pics First is a NO touch The second is the drain.The screw is the linkage pin and will be a bugger to get back in.J

Any MARINE gearcase lube will work.

The "Mercury High Performance" stuff is made for i/o's though.
