Volvo Outdrive lube?
I looked and the owner manual again and again - if I am reading it correctly the outdrive uses 10w/40 oil just like the motor. I expected it to use gear oil like the foot on an outboard.

Am I reading the manual correctly?

Well it depends on the drive you have
If its a 275 it will take straight 30 but if you have the Duo-prop you need GL5
lube
Cheers

Use the same oil as your engine according to Volvo for the 270 drive
