"JB is correct, but to answer

"JB is correct, but to answer your, what is the difference please, I will add this. Mercury recommends "Premium Gear Lube" for 75 hp and less, and "High Performance Gear Lube" for 75 hp and up and all stern drives. The "High Performance" has improved emulsifiers, tackifiers (yes you read that right) and extra additives to put it simply."
 
"well said Allen, its like buy

"well said Allen, its like buying premium fuel for an escort or pinto in this case"
 
"they are both the same price

"they are both the same price ,i just wondered if anybody knows what the difference is?"
 
"in the UK they call everythin

"in the UK they call everything "premium" ,anyway i have bought a litre of high performance lube and going to use that, thanks for your advice people.
