[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 359858, member: 4469"] If it is peeing a good steady stream, it is working ok, I would wait til fall too. You only need to change the gear oil once a year unless it is leaking, in which case, get the leak fixed. A 6 gal tank is appropriate for that motor, should last you a couple days easy of moderate fishing. I personally use the johnson 50/1 mix oil on my 1984 johnson 48hp spl. It runs good on it. 2 cycle oil is not cheap, the synthetic is quite expensive and not needed IMO. A good lube for the prop shaft is a tiny bit of never seize once a year. Use never seize on the spark plug threads too, steel threads on aluminum threads can be problematic, treat them with care. Tim Tim [/QUOTE]
