Lower Unit Lube -- small outboards

moknots · 06-11-2007, 06:26 PM

Yikes, I guess I am easily confused. Sorry to ask a potentially ignorant question, but I have 4 manual start kickers -- a 6hp MercMariner (1996), an 8hp Yamaha (1990) and and 8hp Honda (2000), and a 3.5 Tohatusu. Anyway, I have this lovely gallon of Evinrude lower unit lube for non-electric start outboards. Any reason I can't use it to replace the lube in all 4 lower units? Thanks!!

Check on the viscosity recommendations for the other outboards.. If they allow what you have use it .. Electric starts don't need different lube.

You possibly mean non electric shift. If so you can use it in all the other applkications.
