carbide gear box oil change

[Maahs13]

So my local tsc gave me 80w-90 and i just wanted to clearify this is the right stuff and the proper way to go about changing it and how to tell how much to put in

i personally use 75w90 synthetic in my hammerhead but i would think 80w90 would work fine. i don't know how much the carbide holds though. there are others on here with that buggy that will tell you.

Down load the helix service manuals at the top of this page both machines use the same engine.

but 80/90 is also listed
look at the service manuals to see what to remove

Only four ounces? It seems like that wouldn't be enough to fill the gearbox.

i still check thru the level screw
but mine takes 115cc or 4 fluid oz

On a separate but related note, does anyone know the oil cooler/filter size for the Carbide? I don't see anything listed in the manual, or the pdf online...

Cheers! Happy Spring!
