Re: it's mine now!
The VRO on the '85 Sea Drive just taken off my boat was still pumping fine after 19 years. I've seen posts that go both ways, but more seem to disconnect than not, however, my experience does not indicate that it's necessary. As RAP pointed out, it is easy to mix. A new VRO pump for my old motor would have been around $350 I think.

Re: it's mine now!
You guys are hittin' all around the problem...if that pump craps out, $350 for a new pump will be just the beginning of what you could spend...and the pump doesn't have to go for the system to fail...my brother-in-laws(keeps his boat imacculate) oil intake clogged...mucho $$$ before next splash :P...
I just came to the conclusion: if it ain't under warranty, MIX... ;) ;D
