I run 25w40 in my Mercruiser 4.3, that's the standard for stern drive engines.

Good for them. They had their second chance.

IDK about the fluid, but I can tell you this... I swore off any Chrysler products after 2 transmission rebuilds on my '89 Dakota and 1 on my '95 Intrepid. All at fewer than 60,000. No thanks!
