New to me 2011 Ray with 4.3 carburated TKS
Hitting close to 100 hours and I am gearing up for servicing.
Question:
Do most of you use the recommended 20W-40 or something else ?...Definitely want to stay with full synthetic ...
Best synthetic gear lube ? They recommend Quicksilver, but it's not synthetic...
What is a good oil and fuel filter?

Thanks

Ayuh,.... You can use Whatever oils ya want, so long as they meet Merc's specs,....

I run Rotella T 15W-40, in my motors, 'n Mobil 1 or Penzoil Syn. 75W-90, in my drives,....

For filters, I use Napa filters, which are rebadged Wix filters,....

Yer oil filter would be Napa # 1036, if block mounted, 'n #1086 if remote mounted,....
Fuel filters available include #3225, 3226, 'n others, dependin' in the length, which depends on the space ya got available,...

I also run Rotella T, however use And oil Marine gear lube.

Thanks for the info.
Rotella and Napa filters seem to be the most popular choices, I ran them in my Indmar and my semi truck

I use Rotella T also but use Merc filters. Only reason is I can get the locally and they are not that expensive. For lube I use Merc also.
