Hello! My memory has failed me again. What is the lower unit gear lube capacity on a 96 150hp Mariner? Time to service my boat for the year and I just cannot remember how much gear lube to buy. I appreciate your help.
the link I am giving says it should take 22.5 ounces.
I usually buy it buy the quart and pump it in with a lower unit pump until its coming out of the vent.
you can pick up a lower unit pump that fits on a standard quart bottle for less than twenty five bucks.

Also, to those new to boating, the gearcase oil should ALWAYS be serviced BEFORE freezing temps in fall. Any water intrusion sitting over winter will destroy the case, don’t ask how I know 
Thats how I do it Iowaboy. Great advise nhamm. I checked mine for water before it got cold last fall. ☺ You all came through once again. I am grateful to you all.
Btw, I still make a mess with the pump and mine has steel fittings.
Btw, I still make a mess, even with the pump and mine has steel fittings. Duph!

Ha…look who got that Nissan “5”…way to jump on that Nick! Too funny, after that dude posted all that was wrong with it that he would not buy. Looks like you’re ready to hit the water with 2 motors running! 
Simple misunderstanding in regards to the maintenance. She needs a new water pump but after going through the new motor rounds(with direction from Mr.iowaboy) she fired on a half pull. Reviews of those things are great and Clare the seller was a good dude who years ago was a part of the Smallmouth Alliance who helped initiate the regulations put in place for the upper miss Smallmouth populations. Told him many out there including myself are enjoying the fruits of that labor today!!
