    Question Lower Unit Oil

    Honda brand lower unit oil is not a shelf item near me.
    Buying online and shipping is expensive.
    Would it be a bad idea to use another brand in a BF-250?
    Most boat owners I know swear by Mercury brand lower unit oil.
    Curious what other Honda owners opinions are.

    Thanks

    Hickory,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Surprised more opinions were not posted.
    Will be using Mercury High Performance.

    So I guess you got tired of paying so much for Royal Purple? I laugh, but I bought a case of it.
