    Is one Mercury and the other Quicksilver? If yes it's same product in the bottle just different labeling.

    As Phil suggested, I suspect you're looking at two different labels or bottling of the same Mercury or Quicksilver High-Performance product.

    That's the correct gear lube.

    If you would, Please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    The Mercury racing gold colored 90 weight is superior to the blue high performance.

    Labeling difference only, they are both Mercury High Performance SAE 90w. Label on right is the old style label.
