about to do my winterization on my h190, 5.0, for the first time. wondering what oils u guys use, i was thinking of running mobil one 25-40 cause i cant find full synthetic sae30, like the manual says, looked around and found no evidance of auto oils and marine oils being much differant an i have alsways liked mobile one products, also thinking about using normal auto syn gear oil too, any thoughts or recomendations? |

I know what I would do, but I will not dare to say it. Read this thread, and you will see why. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2244 |

lotta back and forth, problem is i dont have a volvo dealer anywhere near me and i just pulled the boat out and need to service it as the temp is dropping, i was going to run the merc 2540 oil but checking it out it is 8$ a quart and only a synthetic blend, crazy when mobil one is like 6$ and fully synthetic, plus i have used it in everything with the cleanest oil at change times, dont know what i will do yet but i do trailer mine and dont leave it in the water so the marine additives mean less to me. i wish mobil one made a straight thirty then i wouldnt be having this discussion with my self |

Yep - this is a bag of worms with everyone having a different opinion! Mobil themselves actually recommend Mobil 1 5W-50 for the 4.3GL that I have. So I think the 25W 40 you are looking at is a reasonable choice. For the sterndrive, Mobil recommend Delvac Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-90. You may want to go to their web site to learn some more... http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/mobil_au/default.asp Like I said, everyone has an opinion on this and you can be sure they will share it with you!!
