Sounds like you have the right filter. If I had that engine I would compare oil pressures with the WixR and Amsoil Eao....if there was not a pressure drop I would personally use the EaO. That's just me... Kendall GT-1 Racing is a great oil.
Not sure why Merc does not use synthetics as many big engine builders do.
If the concern is that there is a myth? fact? that synthetics do not protect metal after
shutdown and corrosion may occur...motorcycle oils are extremely corrosion resistant.
It may be why many like M-1 V-Twin?
