What viscosity is the mercury / mercruiser high performance gear lube? I was thinking on running some BG synthetic gear lube in a bravo three. Any pros / cons or opinions?

Can that product emulsify water? I doubt it! I would recommend the AMSOIL 75/80w-90 Marine Gearlube. Thats the same weight as the Merc stuff, and a much better product.

Is the Mercury High Performance gear lube + a synthetic blend?
