I used AMS oil for 3+ years no issues. switched to merc green last year (and a 5 blade prop.. different story) went through 2 sets of lower gears. coincidence? perhaps.. my "guys" thought on the merc stuff was it helps with the cone-clutch shifting. the full synthetic was slower shifting. true? false? can't decide if I want to return to AMS (or something else)

Amsoil here as well on my IMCO SC. I like that I can buy it locally rather than order it. I think your splitting hairs once you are comparing quality name brand full synthetics....just my opinion.
