I have a 2008 5.0 L GL Volvo Penta, and need to change oil and out drive oil. I have had all mercruisers in the past, so I would like to know what you would recommend using. The out drive is a SX-A.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic 15-50w for my engine and Amsoil 75-90 synthetic GL5 for my drive. Engine oils have improved in the last nine years. mine called for straight 30W, I feel the synthetic 15-50 is superior now to what was called for back in `08. What ever brand drive oil you choose, make sure it is GL5 rated, something to do with the clutches.
Your outdrive calls for 15w/40?My 5.0 GL and SX-M calls for:
VP's Synthetic gear oil and 15w/40 SAE
I have been warned away from any oils with Limited Slip additives. Most shelf GL5 rated oils are now including limited slip additives. Supposedly its not good for the cone clutch
