Tim,
No. Since it is in both drives (w/showers) and a buddy has the same thing, and I also on the 27 which had a brand new drive, it's the Merc lube itself. Never had any issues with the stuff itself. I'm with Hydro thinking it is the additives.

Since #6's are "sprayed" that may be why HP is not used in them...this settling out or suspension may clog injectors?
