oil question

[Brian in AK]

Hello,
I just installed a new SE-116, the mechanic helping me filled it with Quicksilver premium gear oil. After looking through this site I found that I should be running the HP oil. Should I drain it and change to the HP or use the premium thru the break in period?
Thanks,
Brian

The premium lube will be fine for the break in. When you get 10 hours, switch over to the hp.

Sounds good, Thanks

What grease do you recommend for the u-joints?

[admin]

I believe Mercruiser has an actual just for the u-joints, so that is probably best, however any grease is better than no grease.
