I swear by it. I drained my drives this morning and couldn't believe how clean the oil came out. It looked brand new and I was asking myself why am I putting new Neo gear oil in, but I felt guilty because I have 75 hours on the oil. Yes, that's right 75 hours. John from the Bravo Shop claims the gear oil is good for well over 100 hours between changes. When I was running Mercruisers gear oil it was black after 25 hours. The stuff is the real deal. I run their P40 engine oil too.

It really is incredible stuff! I rebuilt both XR Sportmasters last winter, ran the first 17 hrs on Merc Hi Perf gear lube. When I went to change it, was very disappointed to find way more metal on the magnets than I am comfortable with. (I'm running 780hp each)
At this point, I decided to flush the drives and swap from side to side in order to run on the fresh side of the gear teeth. After flushing out any remaining trash, I filled with NEO 75/80, Ran it hard for 10 hrs and checked the magnets to find ZERO metal! Been running it for 25 hrs now with no signs of wear.
-Always been skeptical of big claims but in my experience, NEO Synthetic really performs under severe duty use.

Great stuff. Ran it in a couple boats now and no issues and as mentioned before - at oil change time it still looked great, and no metal on the magnets. An added pls is dealing with a guy like John - great customer service and always willing to help.

I was "supervising" JMS this morning while he drained the oil... (Or is it, trying to stay out of the way) either way, I can attest the oil was amazingly clean. Hats off to the Bravo Shop and glad to see the claims of long life are true!
