I am about too give both engines Volvo Penta 2003 4.3 GXI basic service
Boat recent purchase , old owner indicated he used synthetic oil ?
On my mercruiser I never used synthetic oils
How many qts of oil on these engines with filter assuming 5 qts ?
I maintain engines, don't think price of synthetic verses a quality 10 w 40 is worth it ?
Also I always used straight 30 on my mercruiser ,
On the Volvo engines was told by a marine guy he uses standard quality 10w30 oil , no synthetic. ( says not worth the price ) ?
Volvo Oil ?? little better or paying for the name .
If engines did have synthetic and I use a quality 10w40 will anything happen ??
Thanks
