This is going to sound odd, the "High Performance" lube is the base, everyday lube i.e. Alpha and low hp Bravo applications. "Extreme Performance" is the equivalent of "Mercury Racing" both used in up to M8 applications. I called Mercury Racing to get this info.

BTW: Quicksilver now offers the Extreme Performance gear oil.
See: https://www.quicksilver-products.com...se-lubricants/
The Premium (yellow) gear oil recomended for under 75hp outboards.
High Performance (green) for engines over 75hp.
Extreme Performance suggested fir high performance and racing outboards and sterndrives
