Just bought a 1972 I/O with a B20 Volvo engine and a 270 Merc drive. MAnual says 10/40 sae oil. One man regular engine oil would be fine for this old engine. One told me 25/40 marine engine oil. One told me to use synthetic. All of them worked on outboards. Does anyone know for sure. Any help will be appreciated.

Not another oil thread. What's wrong with what the manual says? It's worked for over 35 years.

If you have a Volvo motor then the 270 drive is a VOLVO too.Jerry
