Bravo 1 Drive
 
What gear oil to use? Going to drain and put new in next weekend. Also, I see alot of people are using a garden sprayer for this. Where can I buy the attachments to hook the hose up to bottom of the drive to pump oil in?

Thanks,
Blake

i use the synthetic merc lower unit lube. Its the blue stuff. I bought my lower unit pump from walmart for like $6.

I like the merc hp gear lube as well. I also agree with Ggoing Bigger that if you are only doing a couple oil changes a year the $6 pump that screws on the quart bottle is fine. Otherwise diamond performance Bill had a really nice garden sprayer type I saw.

i like the amsoil marine gear lube,fully synthetic and cheeper than the merc hp lube.

I've always had good luck wth the Merc/Quicksilver High Performance Gerar Lube. (It's not synthetic though)

Walmart seems to have the best price on it too. Last time it was either $10.99 or $11.99 a quart. ;)

just get the merc/quick silver HP bottle, should be grey with a yellow label(i think) West marine, walmart should have it. Otherwise if your not in a hurry and can wait a few days I always get mine from gander mountain online, its the cheapest and free shipping, usually to my door in 3 days

I use Amsoil Universal Marine Gear Lube
True marine gear performance. Provides superior protection from shock loading. Resists foam and retains extreme-pressure qualities even when subjected to 10% water contamination. For use in outboard lower units, sterndrives, V-drives, bow and tunnel thrusters and marine transmissions Excellent for use in ATVs.
Cheaper than Mercury also
