Looking to change the oil in a new to me boat with a 5.7L Mercruiser.
Oil is very clear and looks good but I believe the original owner changed it at the beginning of last season, not this season.
I use Synthetic oil in all my cars, I am a big believer in the longevity it gives engines. Is there a Marine grade Synthetic you guys have any luck with? Where is the best place to get marine oil filters, etc?
I was thinking about having this done by a marine mechanic for the first time so I don't mess anything up. How often do you guys change your oil, just by the season or a certain number of operating hours in addition to seasonally?
Thanks guys.
