They do not make their oil...it is not a true multi-vis oil...it pumps hard when cold and offers about the same protection when hot as any ordinary 40wt conventional oil...Merc says to use the same oil in everything from a V-6 to their 1075's. Go figure. I would not get too comfortable with it and anything beyond 496's is probably better off with 20W-50 Kendal racing if you want conventional.
Just my .02
Expensive and not worth the $$ in my opinion.
Now Mercury Gear HP is a very good product...I would not push too hard to switch from using it unless you are inclined to do so. The money here is best spent on drive showers which Merc should include anyways.
