Marine Lubrication

Re: Marine Lubrication
From what I know, if you are talking about the Alisyn trans lube it was made by Castrol. Now it's bottled by Mobil and called Delvac Synthetic ATF. Volvo construction, CAT, Detroit are bottled by Mobil as well. Cummins has the Cummins Blue name under Valvoline.

We have been totally pleased with it, I am just suprised I don't here more about them from other boaters. Thank you.

Re: Marine Lubrication
rastaboatin,
I have been running their gear lube for 14 years and the drives hold up great. They do run quite a bit cooler. Some people said they had it foam up on them, I haven't seen that.
One of my friends ran a Bravo 1 behind 750hp in a 28 Velocity for 300 hours with zero outdrive problems. Him and I both are running 28 Eliminator cats since 1999 with very few outdrive problems.
I ran the engine oil for a few years and my engine builder did not light the black residue it left on the aluminum, so I switched to Mobile 1.
Back in the early 90s, their gear lube was cheaper than Mercurys and that's why I tried it back then.

Let me correct myself... I misunderstood. It's Allison Synthetic Transmission Lubricant that Castrol was blending not Alisyn. ExxonMobil has now put their name on the bottle, but Castrol is still blending it for them. Sorry, didn't mean to confuse everyone...

Re: Marine Lubrication
They are the same base-stock..... Their is no difference in either base formulation... What it comes down to is how ExxonMobil chemists decide to make the additive package. Yes they buy thier own addititves from themselves as well. It's an accounting function. ExxonMobil does not go on the outside, too often to get their base-stock or additives. There are a few, but I am not allowed to disclose that. It's proprietary. They own 55% of the market. What it comes down to is the change in formulation.. That's about it...
Long story short..
Same base-stock, same refinement and hydro-cracking....
Different additive formulation.
