This past weekend I went to winterize my two small Merc outboards, and I used the same Quicksilver 90 Hi Perf gear lube that I always used in my Bravo IIIs.
These motors were both new this year and the lower units came pre-filled from the factory as delivered so I'm not sure exacly what it was from new.
When I drained the old gear lube, I couldn't get a good picture to focus and here it looks more like bubbles but in person it looked more like tiny metal flakes like you'd see in metallic paint:
Normal? Serious problem ?
Also for the first time I read the back of the bottle and it says to shake well. Does anyone shake well before using ???
