re gear lube for Johnson 25hp 2 stroke outboard.

I was just at the marine supply store and asked about the 'Ultra HPF lube
recommended by the owners manual (that I downloaded)

The dealer salesman said 80% of the locals were using the Hi-Vis version
and
he'd recommend I do same as it's cheaper.
He said if I started to use the synthetic, I should stay with it.
so.............. what were you using on this outboard?

I used the Ultra.

BTW did you use a pump to feed the gear lube in...or did you just squeeze
the vinyl container?

Loosen the top plug, but don't remove it.

Remove the bottom plug.

Let the oil drain.

Either pump or use a squeeze tube and refill the gear case. It's full
when there is oil coming out of the top plug.

Leave the pump or tube in the bottom hole and tighten the top plug.

Remove the pump or tube and replace the bottom plug. It's ok if a
little leaks out.

That's it.

Thanks Tom... Ultra HPF synthetic it is.........
I've done the job on smaller motors before... Just wasn't sure how hard it
would be to squeeze all 12 oz from the 16 oz container.
My old Seagull uses 140 weight gear oil so I have to find a supplier for
that.
