Pennzoil (Shell subsidiary) makes (among several) a good 100% synthetic marine gear oil - I've used it for years. You can use it wherever OMC/BRP Hi Vis would be used. http://pennzoil.com/documents/Pennzoil Marine High Viscosity Lower Unit Gear Lubricant.pdf Here's a link for some other information: http://www.bwbmag.com/output.cfm?ID=1891729
