Dry sump sixes do not use Merc racing lube 80w90W.. It also does not use 2 gal, I assume that is for an older wet sump 6. The Torco MTF can be bought online.

Both engines will run 1000 hours plus before rebuild. They do not turn high rpm. 300x same thing. The 2.5L engines would be worn out with 300 hours. I used to rebuild my 2.5's at 100 hours.

Agreed. Horsepower will dictate how fast they will go. The torque is how quick they get to that speed. I feel bad for these racers as they keep changing the rules. On the other hand I think Mercury...
