Mercury Gear Lube Questions

Amsoil is for sure some real good stuff, ran it for many years.
To answer the above question, Merc Racings best, and latest is the new Extreme Performance 85-90 Gear Lube. Per a Merc Racing bulletin it is the recommended lube for all perf drives from the Bravo XR to the M8. I bought it for my new drives, if for no other reason than to run what Merc calls for during the warranty period. If they take a dump it's going to be with their lube.

It was mostly a joke. Depending on what you are looking for, I think the thicker stuff makes drives last longer. For some reason, I think the new Merc Racing oil isnt as good as the old performance blend.

I would agree the thicker might be more protection,
but mine was just a tick faster with the lighter. :-)

No doubt, I actually started using the 140 believe it or not. Yes, it was 1 MPH slower but drive rebuild intervals got way shorter. There are some guys that race with 10-40 and pick up even more speed.... but we both know it just isnt worth it.

Sorry, don't know what I did and there is no size options on the lettering to fix it.

Just talking viscosity here, nothing else.
