    Another excellent video!! I'm so pleased you decided to do this. Much better than other videos I've seen on the same procedure. Well planned and executed.

    Great video. One question: Do I have to put grease on the screw before I put them back in? One guy told me to put light bulb grease on the screws o ring to prevent water from getting into the sterndrive

    Only thing I would change, is always undo the vent plug before the drain.

    how much oil does the stern drive Mercruiser take? I have a friends motor lower unit he asked me to put oil in. He already drained the oil. I bought CRC Marine Hypoid 90 Lower unit oil and put 2 tubes in plus had little more, so like 20 plus ounces and wasn't enough. Any help would be appreciated so I can have an idea how much more oil I need. Thanks

    I might have missed it...... the gear oil reservoir needs to be topped off as well.

    The sterndrive should be at level.

    Incomplete procedure. Did not address the drive lub monitor, drainage and refilling which is part of the mercruiser maintenance procedure. Also did not address oil spec.
