[george unthank]

Stupid question but its Friday here and no wise head to advise
- query -1
1.
where is the engine trim oil topped up-
2
What is the oil called- most of them have a number or are identified in some manner
I am confused between the different fluids .

There will be a pump either to the left or right of the engine near the transom with one black and one grey hose going to it, the oil container is in the base and has a yellow cap, you can use ATF oil if it is red in colour, if it is clear or golden then ordinary hydraulic fluid.

Hi, with D3 you will have DPS drives and the trim motor and resovour is mounted on the transom shield, so it can only be topped up when out of the water
