Mobil 1
I am changing my oil and someone told me to use 0w-40 oil in my boat.. I got mobil 1 and a fram hp4 filter. My question is does the weight sound right. It's a 375hp sbc around 5200 rpms. I wanted some feed back before I used it, also going to synthic from non is there any thing special that should be done....

Re: Mobil 1
first dont use fram.......... use wix or merc
mobile is one of the best synthetic oils, I personally prefer the merc 25-40 ( im old school ) but if your going to use synthetic thats second best next to amsoil

I use 15W50. I agree, throw that Fram filter in the trash. Wix will work great. AC also makes one of the best filters.

V-twin is awesome, we run it in our dirt track cars and some nights see 320* oil temp. It is a 20/50 oil. The 15/50 is good stuff, if you are seeing higher oil temps like 260* on up then the v-twin is worth the bucks IMO.
I run v-twin my boat and change it at 50 hours, last oil and filter change was $114
