lowerunit oil

[rivers]

i have a 115 johnson faststrike 1995 model J115GLEO S03892308 Just drained lower unit oil and want to know if Quaker State SAE 80W - 90 gl5 is a good gear lubricant for the lower unit. Thanks for the information.

Automotive gear oil is not suited for outboard gearcases!!!! Automotive is made to run in a vented system, outboard is made to run in a sealed system and has antifoaming additives. I would run at least the HPR-xr.
