    Re: oil difference (puma Jimmy)

    There are just two differences:

    1. The color of the jug. Mercury-Black, Quicksilver-Gray.

    2. The part number. Same digits, just a "K" for Mercury, and a "Q" for Quicksilver.

    In other words... other than "splitting hairs as above noted"... it's the same oil.
