    How much LU oil does a 225 pro xs take?

    I drained all my oil from the LU (which didnt seem like much) and refilled it for the winter with Mercury HP oil. I bought 2 32oz. bottles, and only used about 2/3 of one before it started coming out of the top. I figured it would have held more that that....Normal?

    I just did my 250 Pro XS last weekend and I put about 25 ounces or so in mine.

    I was using a quart bottle and had a bit less than a quarter of it left.

    Usually 26-28 ounces, depending on how well it's been drained.

    I think dukhntr may have answered my question here. On my '08 model 250 pro xs I'm assuming would require the Mercury HP oil? I figured this would be obvious on the bottle.....but it ain't . I was looking at the different types in the local tackle/boat shop yesterday and couldn't figure out which one I should get.

    Mercury or Quicksilver HP (High Performance) Gear Lube is the correct lube for your gearcase (it meets or exceeds the ratings for ALL outboard gearcases).

    Incidentally... it's the only lube I use.
