how much oil ? volvo b20 or AQ130?

Not the engine but the boot and drive shaft area immediately behind the engine. The dealer can't find it out yet. It uses same oil as engine the manufacturer says.

manufacturer says use same oil as engine which is it? A tube of grease wouldn't begin to fill this cavity. It seemed like oil when it ran out. Now I'm more confused. lol

Frank are you saying it is a special grease gun fitting as I understand it?

Frank does this grease lubricate the bearings and seals at the bottom or does it do the universal joint on the shaft because i don't see how 1 tube will be high enough to do this part. And this is a special tipped grease gun fitting i take it yes??

Ok so I think I have this figured out. The part in question is connected to the boot in back that dumped the oil out. the front part does get grease and it appears the back boot part was full of oil because the back seal is probably leaking oil into the boot. Checked it and it was down.

The out drive (outside the boat) uses the same oil as specified for the engine.
The primary drive shaft (from engine to Transom) uses grease. I have rebuild some of these primary drive shaft housings and you need to grease-fill the complete cavity where the drive shaft bearing is inside. There is a small screw cap on the bell house right behind the engine, when removed it uses a grease gun with inner threads (volvo) to fill.
When empty it takes a complete cartridge.

Edit: For engine an outdrive 15w30 Oil
For Primary drive shaft..... bearing grease (EP2 or so)
When replacing the primary shaft bearing, (like the gimball bearing on Mercruiser) the cavity and the line to this cavity needs to be filled with grease, thats all.
Looks like the po filled it up with oil.
Are u sure its oil and no water..
This bearing and seals need replacement once in some years, It takes bout one 400ml cartridge to fill after bearing replacement.
-Yes.
