DRIVE UNIT OIL
NOTE: The oil level will fluctuate during operation. The oil level
should be checked with a cold engine before starting.
1. Check the gear lube monitor oil level; keep the oil level at or
near the "COLD FILL" line.
2. If there is water at bottom of the monitor and/or if the oil
appears a milky tan, contact your authorized Mercury
MerCruiser dealer immediately; both conditions indicate a
water leak somewhere in the drive unit.
NOTE: If the gear oil is green, use High Performance Gear
Lube. If the gear oil is amber, use Mercury Racing Gear Oil.
IMPORTANT: If more than 59ml (2 fl oz) of gear lube is required
to fill the monitor, a seal may be leaking. Damage to the drive
unit may occur due to lack of lubrication. Contact your
authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer for service.
