Transmission Oil
I know for engine oil they recommend "Marine Grade". For the transmission oil, is there a special oil I should use? Some special Marine grade? What transmission oil do most of you use?

Garn,

Here is the link for complete info on Chevron MD-3:

The other option is to use Dexron VI which is backwards compatible with Dexron III but it costs twice as much as the MD-3.
If anyone believes I should not be using MD-3, please tell me now!
