I just changed it last week and am now running Rotella Gas Truck 5w20 as I have a bunch from the Autozone clearance. It's easy on oil. Rarely do I have to...

    Toyota Tacoma and Tundra

    I need to replace my marine starting battery. Due to incentives and coupons etc... I went to Advance Auto to see what they have. In stock they had two starting batteries in the size I need. Both had a date code of 8/16. Is that too old or too long to have been sitting on a shelf. Does that...

    1977 Evinrude 15hp

    I have a 1984 Evinrude 15 HP electric start. I use Champion plugs and the motor runs great. As for the oil I have been using Pennzoil so I have no expertience with Amsoil. I would think a synthetic would be fine though.
