Time to decide on which oil to run this year

Well it's about time to change the oil and haven't really decided which one to use.
I broke the motor in on the Merc. stuff but can't make a decision on what to change to.
Motor is a N/A 540 , solid roller cam, low compression, max rpm 5800.

I agree with Bobby, go with the synthetic. I have been running Amsoil 10W40. No reason to run the heavy stuff on a mild motor in my opinion.

Hey 26...I too choose to go with Amsoil...but you may want to research the 20-50 idea...I am sure it will work but they make a Marine application 15-40 that they say has moisture treatment in it and makes for a better marine oil...at least this is" what" they say. Just an FYI
