    Default Changing tranny and v drive fluid

    I'm about to change my fluids and can't find the v drive manual. What type of fluid do I put in the v drive of a 16 craz? Manual says dexron 3 for the tranny. Thanks for the help.

    Well, in the old days it was 30 weight oil. Now it's probably synthetic. You can look at your manual online on this site if you go to the home page and go to safety and resources then downloads:

    Holy crap! I don't see the info anywhere in the Moomba manual. That's total BS.

    I've got the manual and couldn't find it in there either! That's why I thought maybe there was a separate v-drive manual that I'm missing.

    When you get the info it needs to be added to this thread along with info on filters:

    On the V drive mine calls for same weight oil as the engine 15/40

    Mine has a tag on it.

    For Trans it's Dex III or Higher

    So I found one stamp. If im not mistaken, the one nearest the front is the V-drive and the tranny is the red dipstick near the back?

    So dexron 3 in the transmission and Mobil delvac synthetic transmission fluid 50 in the v-drive? Does this sound correct to you guys?

    I can't say I agree but my boat is different.

    V drive is a gear system not clutches like the trans.

    Transmission fluid by nature is gritty and helps the clutches grip.

    Vs V drive being gears needs oil to allow lubrication.

    Also most things in automobile that habe a yellow handle is Oil
    Red Trans
    Blue water based

    My '05 uses 30 wt so can't comment on the newer boats but this is from Mobil's website.

    Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 is a fully synthetic, manual transmission lubricant engineered to meet the most demanding extended drain and OEM warranty requirements. It is recommended for year-round lubrication of manual transmissions in light to severe duty on- and off-highway equipment operating in a wide range of environments. Designed to provide maximum protection and extended operating life to heavy duty transmissions, Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50 provides significant advantages over conventional sulphur-phosphorus gear oils, including outstanding high-temperature performance, oxidation stability, wear protection, and corrosion control.
