I have CMC tilt trim, it works beautifully but I have had it for 3-4 years and never changed oil.
Do I need to change the oil in that or is it okay as long as it works.
Doesn't have any leaks or problems and I would like to keep it that way.
Your thoughts?

Since it has no leaks, it probably has not been contaminated with water. And
it's never exposed to a cumbustion process, so I would hope it would last longer than that. But just wait. There are many more opinions and degrees of expertise out there.

No need to change it at all...just top off. It doesn't "wear" out

If it aint broke don't fix it especially if it's OMC.
