Flush neccesary when switching to Amsiol??
#32
Searched Amsoil flush and found this thread.
I used to try to run my boat before a yearly drive oil change to warm the oil before draining it and someone on the sandbar said once switched to Amsoil that wouldn't be necessary...any thoughts?

I am new to performance boating, but I am reading so much about all the gear lubes and I have a serious question that comes to mind. As I understand the bravo has cone clutches. I had installed a auburn diff in my mustang and it had cone clutches in it, Auburn says they will not warranty the diff if used with any syn gear oils. They claim it polishes the clutches to a point they will not grab. I always used royal purple throughout and ran my car very hard eveytime I drove it, was a second car. I ran that car for over 140,000 miles no problems. So are the clutches in the bravo subject to the same polishing effects?

A friend of ours got the SCX uppers and in bold red letters on the paperwork it says to use Torco or high quality synthetic gear lube.
Update...Spoke with IMCO yesterday and they recommend TORCO in their SC and SCX drives. They said AMSOIL can be used as well.
