    OX66 lower unit

    I would normaly go to yamaha website to the PDF manuals but my PDF viewer is not working on my puter right now, I was just needin to know if the lower unit oil in a OX66 200 is just regular 80/90 does it require any additive or anything. The stuff coming out of mine is kinda green. No metal or water thogh...thats good.

    Thanks

    My manual says to use hypoid SAE 90.

    What the hell is "hypoid" anyway??????

    Re: OX66 lower unit (slapshot)

    Hypoid covers most gear oils I think, because of the additives.

    Thanks for the help guys....HAPPY NEW YEAR

    Thanks. I've used a hypoid C lube the past couple of years. But I will probably just go with a standard gear lube this year.
