    Ok thanks Frank. I was thinking they run pretty hot, and to stick with chainsaw type oil. 16:1 it is.

    The hypoid comment through me through a loop as well when I first read it. Says to use a Non corrosive leaded outboard gear oil, EP90, such as Texaco Outboard Gear oil-EP 90 or equivalent. Says in bold "DO NOT USE A CORROSIVE HYPOID GEAR OIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES"

    I understand now thanks Jim. Did not see the "corrosive" comment before the hypoid, just scanned through it quick like I normally do and assumed it said all hypoid gear oil!
