Oil Brands and weights??
For the last 15+ years I have always used Valavoline 20w-50 in my last three boats.
Stock Merc 502's and have never had an issue, never really 'burned' any oil just the typical half a quart used on the 502s every few tanks of gas.
I have one 5 gallon jug of it on the shelf and am having a hell of a time finding a matching jug for the other motor
So now I am wondering what others use, should I change my ways and just use a typical 10w-40.
Actually have no clue what the Merc Manual states besides to use theirs of course
