[QUOTE="Andrew04, post: 287885, member: 8098"] If even a drop of water is entering your lower unit, you'be got bigger problems. I use automotive differential oil 80-90 weight, and pressure test lower unit every season. No leaks means no need for mystery "marine" oil. Oil and water don't play well, and they don't lubricate or protect when mixed, regardless of fancy labeling. Spend the extra on new seals and gaskets. One drop of water is a failure. [/QUOTE]
