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.
