Outdrive Lubes
Not sure if I should be concerned, I'll let the group decide.
At the end of last season (my first with this current boat), I changed the outdrive, gear lube, with what I /think/ was the "high performance" Merc oil. It was blue in color... I picked up the slightly cheaper stuff today... same exact stuff, except it wasn't branded as "high perf." and I noticed its color was more a dark typical "oil" color. My question is, does anyone think mixing the two different types is a bad thing? I only really topped off a few oz. with the non high perf. brand....is the cheaper stuff crap? Does it matter? BTW: it's a 3.0 with an Alpha 1 drive TIA -j |

doh thanks, On the other hand, they don't say why or what might happen if you do. (Total protonic reversal?) Motor oil comes in synthetic/petroleum blends. That's the difference, btw, the blue "high performance" stuff is synthetic and the brown "premium" is petro based. |
