Hi All,
Really struggling - this is a duplicate as wasnt sure if it should be in mercruiser or diesel section... sorry...
So i have the Cummins/Mercruiser 1.7 dti engine.
Time to service it and the manual only gives me a part number for the oil not the oil itself. A quick goole shows its Mercury 15w30. Problem is there is very little detail on there, and the bigger problem is you cant get it in the uk and no one ships...
So i need to know the best alternative and whether it would be synthetic semi synthetic or non synthetic as google doesnt know that either?
Can i use car 15w40 as i can get that easily?
Finally the dip stick extractor pump- is the kind with the ball that collects the oil any worse than the genuine mercury hand pump that screws on top and has a pipe you can put in say a bucket? again the ball kind is 1/3 the price...
Thanks!
