"OK heres the question, has anyone or does anyone know if the Wallmart brand API 80-90W GL5 lower unit oil can be used in a MerCruiser lower unit? It sell for about $3.50 a quart approx 1/3 of the Mercruiser oil, there is also a 75/90 synthectic oil? I read the bottle on the 80/90 W and it said anti foaming, good for differentials etc, however it did not say anything concerning marine use. Whats your thoughts on this?"

Should stay with marine rated gear oils. It is rare to find anything fromj Wallyworld that is not junk!
