I have read countless threads on Bravo drive oils.... since I have moved up to #5's What works best for them? I am leaning towards Amsoil??? I am told #5's hold gallons rather than quarts ..... What is the recommended interval for changing? and any other p/m that should be preformed?

Hello Randy ,,,i use the merc High performance oil and do not fill any thing in the res., its only an expansion tank on the #4+5's otherwise it will push it out the bleader on top .

Just fill from botom up, then close top screw and pump a little more.

Amsoil is good too, i quess.

But i always think if its built with that ,,,that you should use that.
U wouldn't stick a dewalt batt in a makita drill just because it fits and works,,,,,,would you ?????!!!!!

AMSOIL. Use it in #3's and #5's without any issues. BOB.

5's with Amsoil.

Ok ,,,then what amsoil ? And what is the diffrents ???

If its better then the merc i change mine.

Well I did some more research ...interesting link though 5 years old... http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...e-oil-one.html . I liked Royal Purple on my XZ .

Ran 1050 Hp on #3s large shafts for years. The only oil they would live on!!

Also I stated this before they would burn up bearings and gears under 50 hrs with the merc green stuff.. Thats the reason I became a dealer. After 100+ hrs the oil looked like the day it was installed and so did the bearings and gears.

HOT P, can i run this in my crashbox and bearingcarier aswell ????

And how much do u need for case ,shipped to 34207 FL ?

Thanks

100 + hours running hard is just asking for trouble with any oil.
