TRS Fluids.

What are the options on types of fluids? Those little 10 oz tubes of Mercruisers at 9 bucks each would add up. What options are there. Someone said quick silver in quat bottles from Wal mart. It is an 85 twin boat.

Yeah I've noticed the local Wal-mart has Quicksilver products as well, but I don't think they had any gear lube. Just oil and 2-cycle oil. Bass Pro sells it just as proud tho, $14 a quart :ack2:

Just left wally world the quick silver in quarts was for outboard lowers, it did not say gl 5 or stern, or 80w90. The other oil they had was super tech.

Thanks, Hope it mixes with the little mercruiser in the drive. I may place the Amdoil order in a week or two.

I have exactly what you need!!!

When I had my TRS boat, I purchased two 2.5 gallon jugs of the Merc High Performance Drive Lube. Sold the boat and still have the oil. I'll be at LOTO (11.5MM) this weekend and can bring a jug or two for you. $100 per 2.5 Gal jug (equates to $10/quart).

OR, if you happen to be in the KC area, I can have it to you TODAY!
