Bow thruster oil

[Gryphon2]

I have a QL bow thruster which uses a small amount of oil in the gearbox.Does anyone know what grade it is , as the stuff they sell is priced as if it was made of silver!

I use the same as my engine gearbox. Only one type of oil carried and it works for me

Sound advice if your engine gearbox uses an oil that is suitable for the bow thruster ... otherwise its not!

Engine gearboxes frequently use the same oil grade as the engine.
Some use ATF a few even use an EP gear oil.

Using an unsuitable oil could eventually be more expensive than buying a small bottle of QL Bow Thruster oil.
