Redline Heavy Schockproof Outdrive Oil
I am currently using this in my 1986 Alpha 1. This drive has never been apart except to change the water pump impeller.My question is when the oil is new it's a dark red color,this season when draining for winter maintenance the oil is red-gray in color but more gray than red. What should it look like?

Re: Redline Heavy Schockproof Outdrive Oil
When pressure testing the drive should it be filled with lube? What is the test pressure? How long do you run the test? What about a vacuum test?
Thanks for the replies so Far!

You pressure test withthe drive empty,up to about 10 psi merc actually says 5 psi I think I like to do it at 10 for about 5 min...and yes vacum test is part of it also
