Mercury Marine says: Quicksilver Super-Duty Lower Unit Lubricant.
3 Qts, +-.
Others here may recommend other products.

Can't answer that as Merc doesn't specify. But they do state specifically: "DO NOT use regular automotive grease (gear oil?) as damage to bearings and gears may result."
I believe there may be some water absorbing properties involved with marine L.U. lubes vs. automotive hypoid gear lubes.
