How much Drive oil?

Re: How much Drive oil?
I usually use a clamp on the hose from the resevoir bottle as far toward the transom/drive as possible, no need to waste all that oil. then is usually a bit less than 2 quarts.

Re: How much Drive oil?
My manual says two quarts... I was just going to post a question regarding drive oil....
I noticed that penzoil sells a 80w-90 gear oil for automotive rears and has the same sae-5 rating or something like that as does the marine outdrive oil... Is this the same stuff, but at just half the cost of the marine version??

Bravo-1 takes about 2 and 2/3 quarts. If it is completly empty.
I ran the Redline heavy shockproof for 50 hours, am trying the Mobil-1 75w90 synthetic. The Redline takes forever to drain and can be messy, so I am trying the M-1 which seems to be popular here.
