gear lube, what are you using?
 

I have Bravo XR's.... What gear lube are some of you folks using that is NOT the Merc gear lube? I am currently using the Amsoil Marine gear lube, but thinking about switching to another amsoil product. I have searched through the posts on gear oil and found some good info but really looking to see what a lot of you are using your drives besides the Merc stuff. thanks!

I switched to Torco. I have been told that there has been a lot of research done by imco and they are going to start recommending it in the XR style uppers. Don't if it will help but I am hoping it helps me from blowing drives. Supposed to make them run cooler.

Royal Purple Max Gear lube. 502 mag with a bravo 1. 10 years old no problems.

Amsoil Severe Gear.

Same, Severe Gear 75w - 110

Running Klotz Free-Gear for the last couple of years. Best I have used so far.

Torco RTF. If its good enough for Mercury Six drives, its good enough for me :)

Actually, it is the ONLY oil IMCO recommends for the SCX drives.

Agreed...but i did give IMCO a call and they did say the Amsoil Severe Gear was just as good.

Amsoil 75-110 Severe Gear right now based on the recomend from Teague. Have a lot of past history with the Royal Purple as well and it served me well. I believe the deal here is to use a top shelf synthetic product, and change it often, I never go much beyond 20-25 hours. Lube is cheap, drives are not! There is always a new and better mousetrap, just be sure yours is a good one and you should be fine.
