Why cant they just suggest the proper vicosity?? Did I do wrong by using the Pennzoil Marine Gear Lube? I think it was 80w something..... Nah, its says "Volvo" because Volvo wants your $$$. I think I used Penzoil gear oil last year too. Worked just fine. |

As long as it's a fully synthetic GL5 rated 75w90 gear oil (ideally with the emulsifier additive/ marine), you'll be fine. At a push, a mineral oil to the above specs will also work, but will shear faster. |
