What are you using for oil in your 4.3?

[kaw550]

I did a search and looked through the sticky's....I thought it would be a more common question.


Are you using the mercuiser oil? I think it is 20-50w

Is there something I can use in it's place?
No marinas close by but plenty of auto part stores




It s '98 4.3L

I think the Mercruiser oil is 25W40.

Many people including myself have used the straight 30 weight oils found at any auto parts store.
The Rotella or Delvac oil is what i used to use.
