Where to buy fluids, grease?

[wyocobra]

I'm working on my '87 Baja with an OMC Cobra sterndrive (my first boat). I pulled the u-joint shaft to replace the u-joints and will also be replacing the water pump assembly. Anyway, my (stupid) question is, where can I get fluid for the drive? Also, what kind of grease can I substitute for the "OMC Triple-guard grease"? Is this stuff available at Wal-Mart or an automotive store?

Re: Where to buy fluids, grease?

Any gear lube labeled GL-5 will work.
Find out the weight your outdrive recommends...ie: 75W-90

Lubrimatic wheel bearing grease is as good as any, for U-joints and other fittings.

WalMart carries both.

Thanks! I was hoping it wasn't something I had to special order or drive all over town looking for. The only boat place in town is ehh...
