This is one of the best

When it comes to outdrives, synthetic lube is superior.
No doubt that the AGM is a great product. And yes, on a weight scale, gear oils and motor oils are classified differently and a 20w-50, is virtually the same as a 75w-90. The AMSOIL 10w-40 has a gear lube rating to it, and being a bit lighter viscosity, should in theory allow you to spin your props faster.

I will post after I beat on it hard, Smitty
