Used Amsoil Marine for years with no clutch issues. Severe Gear is another story.

Lol,
I was asking so we compare buying from NEO, AADS, Amazon, or anywhere else.
product cost + shipping cost = total cost.
Total cost is what I look at.

2 years on drive lube??? I change mine twice per season. 
It appears Amsoil has changed their formulation in the Severe Gear. George from All American Drive ran into it a while back and is warning people. He sells NEO oil which is a bit pricey, $85.00 a gallon, that's why he can warranty a drive for 24 months even in high horsepower applications. If you want your drive to live as long as possible than you need to be using NEO. I have 2 years on the oil in my drive and it's still clear. I was nervous about running gear lube that long especially the way I drive, so I check it regularly and magnets are clean and oil is clear. Transmission shifts like a dream.

Maybe. But merc recommends it. Plus, how will you know that you've got water in the drive until you drain it?? I'd rather know at 25 hours vs 200 hours!
