Either way, I did not want to take the chance of ruining my drive over $40 in oil.
Where did you ever find 4 quarts of gear lube for $40 bucks!!!!!
I'll take a case!! 4 quarts around here is $67,plus tax.

At Snow City. A local Yamaha dealer. I was surprised by the price too. I bought the last they had on the shelf. They don't sell much of it. The bottles had about a 1/2 inch of dust on them. I kinda stretched the $40. It was actually $40 and change plus tax (prob closer to $50)

You're lucky you were running the AMSOIL. It probably saved your drive. That gearlube can emulsify 10% water and not have any effect on it.

Merc hp lube is conventional oil with "synthetic additives"
It costs more than many high end synthetics (Amsoil, Mobil 1).
