Best Drive Oil
 
I currently run royal purple in my engine, and i know it some real good oil. Of course they claim they have the best load carrying of any oil out there. And its time to service my outdrive. It's a Bravo One. What ya'll experience using the royal purple or other synthetics in the drives as compared to the mercury racing.

I have been using RP since the mid 90's. I still like it. I tore down my drive after 300hrs and could reuse the bearings and will be reusing the upper XR gears. They are 02 vintage, I believe that is the reason for their long life.

I've been using amsoil for years great stuff imo.

I saw the used Neo gear lube that came out of John's Bmax's on his 46 Black Thunder with trip 850's. I think he said he had 65hrs on it and the lube looked like new.
