Default Trim Pump lube

Hey Guys

I just noticed my trim pump is low on oil, do I need to use the "factory" Merc stuff?, or will regular ATF or Power Steering fluid do?, appreciate the help!, Thanks!

What style trim pump? They made a few and they all use different stuff. The newer style is regular oil the high performance units and ones that come with K-planes are ATF.

Its a Boat Leveler "Insta Trim" set up, basic stuff, dual rams, but, nothing fancy, I am "guessing" that ATF would be OK?

Thanks for the help!
