Default Leveling tab oil?

My reservoir for the tabs is completely empty. It says to use Instatrim Biodegradable Oil but I cannot find it anywhere. Boaters World has some stuff called Power Trim and Tilt Fluid that comes in 10 oz tubes. Can I use this??????
Thanks

I don't know about the boaters world stuff. But here are some places that sell the Instatrim stuff.

Default Oiiiiillllll

THANKS! I assumed I could use any brand, even when it does say to ONLY use the Insta Trim brand. But with my luck, I would use another brand and my boat would explode.

Default Thanks

Thanks. I looked at all of those sights, but I think I am just going to use the trim oil they sell at Boaters World. It is 8 bucks and the Insa Trim is over 25 with shipping. Lets just hope it is all the same ey?
