Got it done last weekend and all tucked away for Winter. Come on Spring!!!

I went OEM

Lol, I saw you were in SC and guessed. We rented a house there for Freshman Parent Weekend. It’s a beautiful area!! Glad you guys are enjoying it.

We got out last Saturday and had a blast. Hopefully another time or two before I have to winterize it. Is that Lake Murray? My daughter is a Senior @ USC

I think I’ve come to the same conclusion. Going to get the Quicksilver 25w-40. Should I go with the semi synthetic or just the regular?

I’m a maintenance fanatic so don’t worry. Already have my list together. YouTube has a lot of good info. The risers/manifolds were checked and GTG. I have paperwork on that and only like a year ago.

Thank You. It's a 5.7L Mercruiser. It was kind of buried in the initial post. Everything is solid. it was never stored in the water for any extended period. Except for some rub rail scrapes and a missing snap screw or two, you would think it's new.

So which has been shown to have the best corrosion resistance? Stick with Mercruiser?

10-4, they suggest changing the oil as part of the process so fresh oil is in there in winter. They use the 25w-40 Merc. I am storing indoors at their facility and am going to have them do the winterization and inspect everything from top to bottom and replace what needs replacing before next...

It has been in fresh water it’s whole life. Going to keep it at Lake Cumberland in KY. Part of the winterizing process is to fog the engine as well

I don't know, but she can bust a 2 liter at 365 yards my my M1 Garand. So I won't ask her to............

I used the VR1 20-50 in my 85 318i from its first oil change until it rusted out 300k miles and 20+ years later. It is great oil!!

It’s raw water cooling through the impeller in the Alpha One Stern Drive.

Congrats to you guys too!! Definitely not looking to cheap out. I want best quality period. The Mercruiser/Quicksilver VOA’s I’ve seen don’t seem to have a whole lot of ZDDP and that why I wondered if I should go with the T6 given the age of motor. But since he’s been using 5w-40 Platinum...

Guys, We just picked up a Cherry 1996 Sea Ray 215 Express Cruiser with 320 hours. It was pretty much spotless, which sold my wife. It has been in one family its entire life and has been well maintained. My question being a member this forum for so long is "Which oil do i Need?" He has used...

Guys, Just finished up my Auto-rx rinse and decided to go with M1 0w-30 AFE with a pure one filter. Will be sending a sample at 3K for TD to analyze. Just in two days have noticed a smoother idle down on startup and a little quicker throttle response.

Thanks for all the replies. Im about to drain out the 5W30 PZ for the Auto-rx rinse in about another month and a alf. Have decided to go with PZ Ultra 5W-30.

My 02 Disco loved the 10W30 Rotella. HAve the HG's been replaced yet? Mine went at 80K You might want to have an anlysis done to check for coolant leak. Very common in this motor. 6 months after my re-seal of the engine I was rear ended and she was totaled. [censored] because she was like...

Doug - Thanks. Didn't know if a 40 would be too heavy in this engine. 901 - GC was a thought as well. I was thinking either K&N, Wix or Pure One for a filter. About all I could really find other than factory and they are about $5 more than K&N and 8-10 more than the others. does anyboy...

Guys, Just picked up an 06 LR3 with 58K miles as a replacement for my 02 Disco II that was totaled. I was [censored], had my engine pulled and resealed in April when Analysis showed HG leak. My mechaninc said it should be GTG for another 150K. Plus it was long paid for. Some lady not paying...
