    Red Line shock proof gear oil

    I'm wondering if I should run heavy or light. I'm thinking the light would flow better and stay cooler. Any thoughts
    machinist ,bore it deeper,ream it bigger, and lap it to a fine finish

    I found a marine parts site that sells the heavy for an outdrive.
    Heavy ShockProof®
    Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W250, yet low fluid friction like 75W90



    Lightweight ShockProof®
    Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W140, yet low fluid friction like 80W gear oil or 30W motor oil
    machinist ,bore it deeper,ream it bigger, and lap it to a fine finish

    The product has a great following, but it is a a fluid like liquid silicone.

    I would use the thinner of the two. IMO.
