SSM 6 gear lube?
Wondering what the preferred gear lube is these days for the dry sump 6's... other than the Mercury HP lube and ultra expensive *** product.
Also, what intervals are you guys changing the oil at? |

Torco RTF is thinner and has a GL 6 RATING

1 gallon

A torco rep I spoke with told me that there is absolutely no reason that you couldn't run the RTF instead of the MTF. The RTF won't break down as bad under extreme pressure unlike the MTF, which leaves less of a cushion between the teeth on your gears.

Dry Sump 6's take Torco - DO NOT use High Performance Gear oil -
fill to the vent level at the middle of the drive. Change every 25 hrs. |
