I can answer that for you, Neo Synthetic oil makes it for us. It was a joint effort to come up with a product that would take the abuse that is required to stand up to the over horse powered drives today.

I got 140 hours out of a Bravo running Redline Severe Gear 75-250 before I chunked a tooth. There was also small pitting starting.
Rebuilt drives and switched to Amsoil Marine Gear oil(75-90?) after 50 hours and chunked a gear at 100 hours. No pitting but less hours.
I doubt any oil will keep the upper gears from chunking out. What I did notice was that the Redline shifted smoother, and with the Amsoil, fresh tune up and ethanol free fuel I still did 102.5 at 1000' above sea level. Before the tune and fuel, with Redline at 1500' I'd do 100MPH.
Sea level has always been 102.5
FWIW
