Change to synthetic oil?
Hey guys,
As you know the boat is a '93 check convincor 251 with a carbed Mercruiser 502ci and a bravo 1. I was wondering if I can/should switch the motor over to synthetic oil. I was talking to the local parts guy at the marine shop and he said not to switch to synthetic since the motor is old. The motor was rebuilt about 110 hrs ago, I just wanted to get a second opinion from you guys.
Thanks again,
Seth

I just switched to Amsoil Dominator 15W-50and amsoil Ea076 oil filters(the big dogs hold 2 quarts of oil alone) and just switched to Amsoil synthetic marine gear lube.
