To be honest you can use regular 90wt from any auto parts store.
but it's like anything else you have a good, better, and best. Marine grade gear lubes are deigned to emulsify water and suspend it. Where as non marine LU oil isn't, so if you use something other than a marine grade I would recommend changing the LU oil frequently.
I use Mercury high performance gear oil in all my outboards, (except my F350 Yamaha) I also run it in my rear ends on my trucks. It's really good stuff!
