What lube were you using before the switch to Amsoil? Did you change the drives when you started using Amsoil? Wondering if it is worth switching. I have twin Yanmar Diesels with X diesel drives. I (BAM Marine) rebuilt them at almost 1000 hours because I had pitting in the upper gears. I almost never leave the water but do run hard occasionally and often do runs to Bahamas with a lot of weight on the boat.
