Motor oil selection help.
I have twin 496's, low hp (375 each) Can I please get a motor oils recommendation . In my motorcycles and cars I use full synthetic. Might be Harley brand or Amsoil in my triumph. Mobil one in my truck. Should I use the same (one of these) in my Mercuiser? I don't care how much it cost, I want the best quality. Thanks

Run a non synthethic 20w-50, I like Kendall GT1 and the Merc HP filter.
A friend has a 496 Mag boat also one with HO's. No oil burn and psi was good for 40hrs of use.
