Anyone pull oil samples regularly and have it tested? I am in the process of buying a new (new to me) boat. I'm looking at boats with the zeus pods and have had a surveyor pull oil (transmission fluid) samples from the ZF transmissions in two different boats. Both came back with very high copper levels in the transmission fluid. The first boat with135 hours had 710 & 520 ppm of copper in the respective transmissions. The second boat with 100 hours, came back with 310 & 420 ppm. Never saw the service records on the first boat but have seen the records on the second boat. The second boat just shows that the 25 hour service was completed on the "Zeus drives". just not sure if the Zeus pods with the ZF transmissions have been around long enough to show their true colors! Anyone have problems?
Thanks,
