Just wondering if anyone has used Mercury marine oil in their boats, what did you think of it ? Still unclear what the real difference is between auto v. Marine oil |

The difference my guess is price. How much is it a quart? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Besides the $$, check out the ZDDP level if you plan on using it in a flat tappet engine. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I read the link. Seems to be written from a salesman's point of view. Some gray areas could be argued. Overall educational. ------------- - waterdog - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3896&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - 78 Ski Tique |

For those of you that are looking for a 15-40 marine oil. Look into Amsoil they have a synthetic marine oil. It has High ZDDP, and it is a rust preventative for when you have the boat in storage. I have been running it for years and it is diesel approved. Frank ------------- FGroce 88 Ski Nautique For 28 years Now 2002 Ski Nautique |
