Marine gear oil has corrosion

Marine gear oil has corrosion protection additives that auto types don't have. This is not a problem as long as no water enters the unit but if water gets in it could be the difference between replacing a seal or two and replacing the whole lower unit. Save a little now and pay a lot more later.
