Re: [OMC-Boats] lower unit oil

Not seen the tube type you're referring to.  I've only seen the quart size at West Marine.  There another kind of Type C?

bought some yesterday btw.   they had 2-3 type C's to choose from.  Of course they all came in those stupid toothpaste style large squeeze tubes with the pointy end.   I guess the idea is you squirt it into a spare regular sized oil container so you can use your screw in pump?     Although the ends are threaded.   Designed to screw right into the hole w/o need for pump.   I foresee the need to turn the whole boat upside down to get all the oil to come out of the squeeze tube and go into the lower unit.
