[QUOTE="Bobg, post: 187392, member: 4992"] Fairly easy. I use an impact tool with a broad common screwdriver tip in it. Just like changing your lower unit oil, release the upper screw that shows you've got enough oil when it over flows, then release the lower screw you fill the lower unit from, and see what comes out. if water's in it, that will come out first. If you run the engine before doing this, and water's in it, the oil will be milky colored. If it's pure black it's good, but should need changing. If it looks like clean oil, it's been changed recently. Have a way of replacing this oil after checking it, if you don't buy it, or not. [/QUOTE]
