As always great info on this site! I was wondering the same thing as I'm getting ready to install my new 383 in the boat.
|
So 20w-50 and straight 50 should be the same thing for a boat?
|
So back to the original question--Because it does not need one.

CV is a really good company also. I just don't like cast thing-a-ma-bobs in tough environments. |

I don't see a need for anything over straight 40. For multi viscosity - most 20-50's will work and like I always mention, I've done well with Rotella 15-40. It holds pressure well. As a side note, and so those know especially since I comment on oil and oil pressure, I always remove the factory filter bypass adapter and put in a solid billet adapter with no bypass. I do this on my performance motors....so my experiences always are in this configuration. |

Sounds good on paper, but I'll bet a kick in the pants the Straight 50 will be thicker at hot temps.
