I put 75-140w royal purple oil in my 96 xp jet pump is that fine to use.

Nope... it's too thick.

you need GL-5 Syth 75w-90

 

[brandon32689]

well that is what i used last night when i put it back together i have some ppl say to use 75-90 and some say 75-140 is it going to hurt anything.......

Tony is correct. I just checked the garage, I use Mobile1 LS 75-90, full synthetic. I guess I had a brain fart.

I know you already changed it... but to be honest... I don't know if it would cause damage or not. It will take more power to turn it, and the thicker oil could cause a bearing to spin in the housing.... but I can't say I've ever heard of it actually happening.

It would be fine, but yes it would maybe take away a 1/4hp being thicker...LOL
