    Do I Need To Change My Oil After only 20 hours of use?

    My last oil change was just before last season started. I only put about 20 hours on her since (Volvo Penta 4.3l). Do I definitely need an oil change or would it be a waste of money/time to do it again? I live in an area which has pretty moderate temperatures with no snow. Had about five 30...
