I run mine hard and like the Mobile 1 20-50W V-Twin synthetic. Ran my previous boat well over 500 hours on Mobile 1 with no issues. Another important item is the filter. Wix and K&N are good...stay away from Fram. Just my .02

I ran my Semi over 500k miles on Rotella 15-40 is the best oil I can recommend. I run it in everything boat mower pick up taurus power washer ect. I had a motor that ran mobil 1 and after 300k it showed significant deposits I was told that it was due to it being a paraffin based oil which rotella is not. FYI had a plugged strainer and maxd the oil temp the other day, no problems, Except stupidity.

Brad Penn racing 20w50. Several top engine builders I discussed this topic with agreed on it. They use it in their own engines.
Semi syn made from premium base stocks and loaded with zinc for anti wear.
