Glad you found your answer. But I'm not sure I see the connection of your thread's title and your question.

Warwick, The manufacturers want you to buy some of their products, however, it approaches a scam on their part, IMHO.

What you need for lubrication is real simple. TCW-III two cycle oil for mixing (or oil injection) with the gasoline, Marine Gear Oil for mechanical shift motors for your gearcase, and some multipurpose grease for everything else. Some fittings (not many) can use a threadlocker. Merc makes a special lube 101 which is a bit superior to regular grease for steering cable ends. The rest is snake oil. I use Marine (cartridge) Grease, TCW-III and Gear Oil from Wallyworld. Some Permatex #2 and some blue locktite are handy to have around as well.
