NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
But it wouldn't get whipped into a froth in a differential?I was told years ago that regular car gear oil will get whipped into a froth in the lower unit. Frothy oil isn
t good for lubricating anything that I know of, and being it wasn't a big investment in a qt of marine oil, I went that route and never had an issue with it.,,
Maybe. But there seems to be more room in a differential housing, then a outboards lower unit housing. I also heard that marine oil will perform better, if water gets in in the unit. That might be an old wives tail, but why take a chance ?.,,But it wouldn't get whipped into a froth in a differential?
I've had water intrusion in my lower unit before, and the marine gear oil just emulsified it like it should. Drains out milky looking. And not more reusing drain/fill plug gaskets for me...Maybe.
