I don't like that my owners manual says to use "Volvo"(with a part number) brand gear oil for the lower unit. It is annoying that it doesnt just say what to use! Why cant they just suggest the proper vicosity?? Did I do wrong by using the Pennzoil Marine Gear Lube? I think it was 80w something.....

Nah, its says "Volvo" because Volvo wants your $$$. I think I used Penzoil gear oil last year too. Worked just fine.

As long as it's a fully synthetic GL5 rated 75w90 gear oil (ideally with the emulsifier additive/ marine), you'll be fine.
At a push, a mineral oil to the above specs will also work, but will shear faster.
