There are differences in how power steering or trans fluid and motor oil react with seals. Never use motor oil when ATF or Power Steering Fluid is called for. Also motor oil doesn't have the anti-foaming agents that ATF or power steering fluid have. which can make your hydraulics spongy. Just saying.

I agree with the above post. Don't have my manual in front of me but I seem to remember 10w-30 for drive trim and tab pumps. Maybe i'm thinking of the older ones on my 10 meter , not sure, I would check the manual.
