Lower unit gear lube question

[nightstalker]

I have a Johnson 225 (1994). I have a quart of 100% synthetic Penzoil lower unit gear lube (SAE 75W-90,API GL-5). Is this a good quality lower unit oil, or should I use something else like Johnson lower unit gear lube?<br />Stalker

Hi, Stalker.<br /><br />If it is labeled for outboard gearcases and your engine is not an electric shift it will do fine.<br /><br />Good luck.

JB is Correct!<br /><br />Synthetics will protect better than conventional if you were to get a little moisture in the lower unit and you didnt find out right away!<br /><br />It may take a little more than a quart though!<br /><br />LubeDude
