    Gear lube.. I use 85-90 GL4 .   GL4 grade does not have the sulfur additives in GL5 grade that attack brass/ bronze parts. Now I don’t think ??? that your motor has any bronze parts, but I use the GL4 in all my sealed outboard gear cases. I know that Napa has the GL4 gear lube.

    Actually, I think it does have bronze bushings in the fwd & rev gars and on the drive shaft.
