I know this is a question only a sailboater could ask. My manual says the gear lube should be OMC Ultra-HPF. I am very unfamilar with outboards. There are no "OMC" sources near me. Can I use any brand high viscosity gear lube or is there something special about the "HPF". The local marine store did not know and I am overdue for a lube change.

Larry-
In answer to your question , yes. I would try to stick with Merc/Bombardier(OMC) gear lube. High performance is best.
