I would have thought the "right stuff" would be the Volvo stuff. At about £250 inc vat for 20 ltrs it is cheaper too!!!!
Grease points? 290DP out-drive (Coupled to KAD32)

How much!!!
I bought my last oil for my outdrives, exactly the same spec as Volvo from CPL - £75 for 25 litres, earlier this year.

Going back to your original question, all the info given so far is OK but I have always found it helps if you un-screw the crank case filter, turn the steering to port, this puts the grease point at the front of the steering arm, from there it's simple push the grease gun on and pump the grease in. I do this every month or so as a routine job. Then screw the filter back on - you should be OK there is no copper washer but there is a large rubber one - maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it!!
Hope that is of some help.

Are you sure that wasn't for 5 litres???
Volvo branded oil for 5 litres is around £70. I searched for an alternative that met ALL the specs and found there wasn't alot of difference in price. maybe could have saved a fiver or tenner at best.
I am surprised you managed to find some fully synthetic gear oil at the equivalent of £15 for 5 litres. Even fully synth car engine oil is best part of £30 these days!!!!

OK guys this is all great info.
neale - Can you tell me where you can get the 20l drum for £250. There's no Volvo dealers in my locality so the best thing I can do is order it and get it delivered. Would Keypart have it? Don't suppose you have a part number??
Many thanks for the help

On marinepartseurope.com that's coming up as FIVE litres, at 347euro? The price seems right, it's the quantity that worries me... only 5litres for 347euro! Here's the link: http://www.marinepartseurope.com/en/volvo-penta-explodedview-7745220-90-1878%20.aspx
There's lots of stuff on that page, so hit Ctrl+F to do a find, and type in the part number and you'll see it

I know, that comes up as 1 litre which is 3809443.
Their website seems to be wrong.

Hi
The oil I use is Fuch Silktran SYN 5 75W/90 Synthetic Gear Oil, 25 litres from CPL. I have been using this for 4 years now and my outdrives have just cleared the thousand hour mark.
I also use their 15/40 oil for my engines at the last cost of £30 for 20 litres.
