Lower Unit Lube for 1982 Mariner?

[minuteman62-64]

I have a 1982 Mariner 30 HP. My manual says use "Quicksilver Super Duty" lube in the lower unit. No viscosity specs provided. West carries "Quicksilver High Performance" lube - the language on the container refers to I/O drive units with no mention of outboard motors (at least not that I could see).

Did the Quicksilver High Performance lube replace the Quicksilver Super Duty lube? Is it the stuff to use in my lower unit?

Are any of the generic lower unit lubes OK for my motor?
