Its Bel ray lowest shelf marine gear oil in which is the same as Merc Hi perf gear oil since 1992. It has become a weaker blend because of lesson amounts of Antimony additive added in the mix because it is very toxic for the waters and marine life.

emmmmm - NO as to any copy and paste plus I do not read any of their marketing - I don't need to.. You asked about the Bel Ray Mineral gear oil inwhich is NOT a synthetic at all. Here is what Bel Ray Mineral gear and Merc Hi Performance gear oil has in it exactly the same Mineral oil - Antimony and Moly are the 3 main blended into the mix. The Mineral base if I recall is a GL 4 --- 80w 90 - the Bel Ray semi syn gear oil is not the same as that is Bel Ray mid tier marine gear oil.
And yes we do use it because many want OEM stuff in their boats. It gels up in the lube bottle and you can not use it for Volvo apps
Its the EXACT SAME because Bel Ray makes Merc Hi Perf gear oil for Merc --- so what else do you need to know about it ?
Does nothing different than Merc Hi perf gear oil that many use in their Bravo's - gels up in the lube bottle exactly the same to and does not hold up well against oxidation nor adds longevity to high HP with bravo's.
Did I leave anything out oh yes Bel ray sells it cheaper than Merc hence why boat dealers buy it and has forced Merc to lower their wholesale price lately because they are losing market share with it. Hope this helps about using it

I buy this cheaper than the Merc Hi-Po. Magnets are much cleaner, doesn't gel in the bottom of the reservoir, and doesn't darken up like the Merc does.
