OK, I serviced by 3.0L sportmasters today, and as always I have gotten 16oz. out and in the lefty and 38oz. in the right. I drained for 24 hours before filling and measured what came out and what went in. I am guessing that the two bearing adapters, thrust bearings and races take up the extra space in the lefty.?? My lefty oil is always much dirtier than my right. Thoughts??
Standard always comes out looking fairly clean. Counter comes out dirty, sometimes really bad. Standard takes more fluid during a service. One thing to keep in mind... While pumping new fluid in, after it comes out the fill hole, as though it may be full..., set down the pump, wait 15 minutes, then resume filling. I've sometimes added an additional 8 ounces, every time.

The rear view would sure look a lot better with a set of Dewalds on the lowers though.

Any of you Skater boys gonna visit the Bay area or Delta for the best boating weather over the next 2 months?
We have an awesome group of twin outboards with Skaters ranging from 28-32' that I know of. I believe 7 or 8 along with several other brands that join us almost every weekend. There will be several trips to SF Bay, Petaluma, possibly Half Moon Bay, the Delta (all the time), Sacramento, & other spots.
