Default Oil and grar lube

I'm sure this was asked a bunch of times before.
Best oil for 525's?
Gear lube for Bravo XR / speed master shorties?

Gear lube for Alpha 1 Gen I ?? Can I use the HP gear lube reccomended for bravos on the old Alpha?

Thx
P

I wouldn't run royal purple if it was free. I run AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Oil and AMSOIL Marine Gearlube 75w-90.

Just curious - why the down and out on Royal Purple. It was recommended to use in my Bravo drive after I had the gears in the lower case cold processed. And, I thought Konrad uses in their drives? Thanks.

The Mercruiser HP is good for your Alpha. I would go with the Amsoil for everything else.

He's an Amsoil salesman. Yes, Konrad uses Royal Purple in their drives.
