Ive got Quicksilver 25w40 mineral oil in my Merc 3.0l motor right now, do you think it would be OK to top up with some 15w40 marine oil which I have (made my Liqui-Moly, by the way)?

No problem whatsoever...I'll go further and say that even IF one were dino, one were synth you'll have no issue.

It won't hurt a thing, and I wouldn't hesitate to "top-up" with any 4-stroke automotive motor oil! dino or synth, single or multi-grade!
