Mercury & Ranger 175VS Question - 06/04/17 02:54 PM

Hi
Where is the Speedo pitot tube is on a Ranger 175VS. I know I can use GPS etc to measure speed but my OCD kicks in as it is not working?

Also just purchased the boat and oil in tank is about 1/2 full. I do not know if it is synthetic or ? - Can I mix synthetic with non-synthetic?

thanks!

Speed pickup hole is on the front of the lower unit. Do not mix syn with mineral base. Pennzoil Premium Plus is a synthetic blend.

Thanks Gary - love you tag line. God is God
When the oil runs low - should i remove/drain the tank?
