Lots of different opinions on that now but that is why I won't run full synthetic in my 525.
Mercury and Volvo Penta make synthetic oils that you can safely run in marine engines too! Mobil-1 V-twin is high in zddp |

What's your opinion on Mobil-1 15w-50 which is popular choice here. Label states it has added zinc.
https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/...obil-1-15w-50/ The best of the best for marine use! thanks These oils have the highest zddp...no enhancers to make the oil slick and are proven here on oso to work very well! Attachment 577291 Attachment 577292 High ZDDP marine oils...take your pick....I am using VP and it's great! Attachment 577290Attachment 577289 https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachments...-jpeg.2057873/ |
FYI, The regular Mobil 1 15w-50 5 quart jugs are out of stock at Walmart, except for what is on local shelves, from what I can tell.
NAPA does have quarts on sale for $5.99 Zinc level in the regular 15w-50 are still fairly high at 1300ppm. The VTwin is 1750ppm. Most other oils are 800-900 |

So is 15-50 the general consensus then? I don't have a 500efi or a 525 but Merc is still calling out the exact same requirements as listed above with the mercury nmma fc 4 cycle oil as the recommended etc etc.
