The 1075's also have a second batch of the Mercury product in them. They are now past the break in, but I am waiting to see where to take this. I have had several discussions with Scott from Mercury Racing and he talked about blends of conventional and synthetics. He did say though that the 15w50 or 20w50 with the new dry sumps wouldn't have bad blow by, we will see... With all of our other mercs, 502, 575, 454's, etc. Mobil 1 15w50 since 91.
You guys have more offshore boats than I have shirts. :D

Just look at the oil analysis data and iron ppm...shows
Mobil-1 in this engine is responsible for practically no cylinder wall wear....there is more iron on your face after shaving than wear in the oil sample tested.. ;)

...also note that this 5W-30 Mobil-1 held up very very well out to 18,000 miles...what does that mean? This oil did not break down due to heat and shear...it could easilly be used to 18,000 miles with 5,000 interval filter changes and a topping off....really a filter change is a 5 minute job...plus a half qt of oil...

...keep buying 5W-30 for your car..it werks and it is priced right and easy to get :D

It's so good I am even trying to convince Craig to start to use it. :drink:

Probably a little higher oil pressure..little lower oil temps is what we are hearing.

What oil filter will you use?

Let us know the actual numbers after you switch...

If it's the Mercury HP or Racing filter...it is about equal to the Mobil-1 in trapping and flow. If you have the other mercury filter it flows very well but traps low.
