I acquired a dinghy for our boat last season. This will be the first year I am doing spring maintenance on the outboard motor. It is a Mercury 9.9 two stroke.
Our last boat had Mercruiser bravo 3 out drives and I used Quicksilver High Performance Gear oil in the lower units. Mercury's website recommends Quicksilver Premium Gear OIl 80W90 for outboards under 75 hp. I think the other stuff is 90. I have got a bunch left over from the other boat. Is it OK to use it?

Thanks in advance

Yes - either oil will work fine. The high performance stuff is more expensive and has additional additives for higher gear loading.

Go with the High Perf

thanks Guys.... That was my gut feel but I alway like to check. I also seems the High Perfomance is more available.

It's been the standard go-to for a while so fewer bother to carry the Premium anymore.
