Black gold in the oil bath hubs??
I went to Autozone to pick up some 50w oil to drain and fill the oil bath hubs. They only carried up to 40w. Around the corner, O'Reilly had lots of 50w "Racing" oil. I think it was Valvoline. At $5 a quart, I figured it was a good price, but it came in a regular quart oil bottle with the large spout.
So then I called the nearest marine dealer across town and they said they had just what I needed. I got there and they handed me this clear half-quart bottle with a computer printed label taped to the side. NINETEEN DOLLARS!! For a PINT!
Well I needed to get the trailer on the road for a long trip, and suspect the previous owner never changed the oil, so I caved.
So I saved the bottles from the black gold. Can I just refill them with the $5/qt stuff at the auto parts store? Is there something magical about the juice from the dealer?
Oh, and I had a couple qts of synth 75-90 on hand that I would have loved to use up, but would that be too heavy?
