V Drive Fluid - Oil or Transmission Fluid?


Recommended Posts

If this topic is already discussed, I apologize, please point me to correct area. 

I have a 2018 LSV 23. The fluid sticker on the v-drive says 87022-1 which takes me to a indmar synthetic transmission fluid. However, aren’t transmission fluids red in color?  The current fluid in the v-drive from the factory is clear like engine oil. I’ve seen forums that say SAE 30 and some say 15-40 for v-drive oil. Can somebody please set me straight?

Thank you!

It depends on the combo you have, if it takes atf or oil. At the top of the forum there is a resources tab. Then Malibu specs. The info you need is in the engine manual for your boat in the last couple pages. Several different combos in there. 👍
