A question about gear lube color for the Volvo SX.
Last fall I refilled the outdrive but can't remember what brand. I left it a little low knowing
I would check it in the spring. This spring the lube that spilled as I connected the fill pump
was green but the lube I was pumping in was tan color. I was using West Ultra High Viscosity.
Do I need to drain everything and start over.
Much thanks.

Drain and start over. NEVER mix type of oil.
