I typically use the Merc reccomended 25W40, however, if that's not available a good quality straight weight 40 will be perfectly acceptable. That's what I've been running on my last two oil changes actually.
As a matter of fact, I see better recovery with the straight weight 40 oil. In other words, after a hard run, the oil pressure doesn't drop down quite as low as the 25W40 did when coming from WOT to cruise or below cruise.
