Hi - apologies for the newbie question here.
Have a 2000 260DA (5.7 engine) - picked it up 5 weeks ago.
So far so good on everything, except the Drive Lube Monitor has the level dwindling, and now it's below the "fill" line.
I've read a lot of posts about this kind of stuff - there's no oil in the bilge (bilge stays fairly dry), so the lube fluid is either settling (we've been using the boat on the weekends - but heavily), or there's a leak somewhere.
Before I determine which one it is, I need to fill the lube resevoir back up to the top.
Here's my s.q.o.t.d.:
What kind of fluid am I buying to put into this? Is there a quart of "Drive Lube" I'm looking for in West Marine?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
