Re: Oil changes
I’ve used Lubrication Engneers Monolec GFS40 have since 1978. When I rebuilt my engines the bearings that came out showed little or no wear. Most big fleet operators use this stuff. I buy it by the 55 gal drum and it ain’t cheap but I wouldn’t use anything else.
By the way there’s a dam inside the oil pan that retains almost a gallon of oil you can only get it out by removing the front drain plug.Last edited by rsmith; 10-14-2017 at 09:38 AM.

Re: Oil changes
I buy Delo 100 from O'Reilly's. $5 gallon cheaper than West Marine.

Re: Oil changes
I use Delo 400 from RK Allen a local diesel/oil distributor. Don't recall the last price I paid but it was somewhere near $70/5gal. Takes about a week lead time for them to get it in.
