LOWER UNIT FLUID

I change mine once a year.

I try to do mine once in the spring and have my comes by tech do it again when he checks out the motor in the fall.

i know it cost hardley nething to do it so i didnt know if i should do it more than once a year or if once a year is good

I have mine changed every Fall/Early winter during my winter prep. :thumbup01:

if you fish very much, twice a year is a must. that lower unit lube is sure a lot cheaper than a new gear case. and the plus side of doing it twice a year, is that sometimes you can catch a problem early, and the fix can be very minimal compared to replacing the lower unit.

I recommend changing it once a year in the fall. If you have had no lower unit trouble that was apparent and you have water in it (milky) or metal chunks, that is the time to do something about it before the LU freezes and cracks, or you can fix your gears when you aren't fishing.

I change mine at least once a year. I use royal purple and have for about 5 years now and have not had any issues
