Amsoil Marine, is there anything else? I've done a lot of research, I have yet to find anything better. I like the product so much I became a dealer.

Default Merc Hi-Perf

Merc is a blend, switched to Amsoil severe gear and much better results over the three boats in my immediate group. Way less discoloration, no shavings what so ever. ..................................Rjr............. ..............................

royal purple. Looks brand new at the end of every summer (less then 40hrs)

Have also heard of people running 100% lucas. (big boats, with twin high hp engines) Would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on that
