Bel Ray has been discussed as the OEM for the Merc Gear Lube either here or on another boating forum a while back. Don't remember which one. As I recall, from the previous thread, when contacted they would not confirm or deny they made the Merc oil therefore could not give an exact substitute BR part number.
Regardless, from their pricing it appears it is still cheaper to buy the branded Merc Hi Performance.
Bel-Mar Marine Gear Oil available in a 12liter (3.17gallon) case= $203.88

Merc Hi Performance Gear Oil (online price) 2.5gal for $99.00
