I've used Amsoil in the past with good results. Never had a problem with the Merc HP.

I would agree about the Merc HP. I've run the same Bravo 1 outdrive hard for 15 years on the stuff. Wake hopping, water skiing and racing. On my second factory engine but never had to touch the outdrive so far. I am sure this is common.

Yet we run the Royal Purple racing 51 in some of the big motors we service and after its time to freshen up the engine builder said the inside looked great after 150 hours. 1150 Cobras. I use Mobil 1 and Valvoline Racing. Its all in what YOU think is a good oil. After all, Mercury oil lasted the warrenty period.
John S.:D I had someone recommend using the same oil that is used in the # 6 drives to run it in a bravo drive when pushing over 600 hp. Thoughts? |
One thing about the Merc green it does mix with water. This is a must in my opinion:cool:

Good seals matter most.
Did you test your seals with a pressure/vacuum tester before adding in the new lube? You should ya know. :evilb: |
Hydro I may be reading into your post too much and your right but failure can happen at anytime. This is why I like a lube that will mix, it may save the day if you have a small leak before the next oil change.
