Gear lube is gear lube. Synthetic is better than dyno by far. Lubrimatic
will serve you just as well as Quicksilver and you can keep a couple of

Hey, check this out. Here is the advertisement for Merc's expensive
dealer sold lubricants...

Now check out the advertisement for the Quicksilver lubes sold at Wal-
Mart.

Its word for word the same brochure!!! Now I'm confused as to how they
are marketing the brands. If the Merc is more expensive you'd think
they would *try* to convince people it was better but it doesn't
appear that way at all. The only thing I can tell is that they might
require you to use the Merc lubes while you are still under warranty.

I believe that is illegal. I know that car manufacturers cannot
dismiss warantee claims if you didn't have them do all the recommended
service that is in the owners manual. All you have to do is regular
oil changes - and you can have them done anywhere you want (including
do it yourself) using any brand of oil you want. That's the law.
