quick silvers is silver with a yellow label for high performance. I think the regular stuff is a blue or red label not sure.

I always get high performance althought Im not sure on the difference.

My Mercury dealer told me that they are the same and that Quicksilver can be sold in other stores and the Mercury brand can only be sold at Mercury dealers.
