    I'll be changing mine in the near future (new LU, 10 hour change) and will use Yamaha LU lube....

    Re: Lower unit grease (fishnhunt)

    I came from another brand that ate LU's for lunch until i used Royal Purple. Be it coincidence or not i use the Royal Purple in my Yamaha LU. Think you will be fine using any of the premium oils ie Merc, Yamaha. Amsoil, Pennzoil etc. I now have over 300 hrs with no issues on it.
