I know this must have been answered 100 times already. I tried and tried using the search feature but the posts returned weren't relevant.
My questions:
1. What type of oil should I be using for a 1997 4.3GL Volvo Penta?
2. What oil filter should I use? The boat currently has a 18-7879 but go2marine.com says I should be using 18-7878. Do auto part stores carry these or do I need to go to a marine parts store?
My SELOC repair manual covers the amount of oil (4.5Qts) but not the type or filter to use. If it makes a difference, I live in San Diego where its warm all year long!
