I agree that this is a motor oil forum. But it should also provide useful information. I don't read too many threads over 4 or 5 pages. So when you have a single thread about the last oil change a person did, one could ask how much useful information does it provide? If you had individual threads for popular vehicles then it might be more useful. But I am not going to read through 100 pages of posts in a single thread to see what the popular oil is for a F250.

Well, should be easier for the boat section, as we won't have 100 pages of posts. I'm curious to see what people are running, and of course it might prompt the question "why?". Participation in this particular sub forum is low enough that I don't think there's much risk of this thread becoming a bear to navigate.
The PCMO thread of the same type? Yes, it's huge.

I winterized my 3 outboards, all of which are Suzuki (6, 20, and 115 HP). Each got Bass Pro 10w30. The lower units all got Quicksilver HP gear lube.

That is why I found BITOG one day. Curiosity. I come here when I feel like and search old/new threads to find things I am interested in (mostly auto / lubrication related) to see what others experiences are. Enjoy lots of members sense of humor they share also.
A complete post would include the oil filter cut open and a UOA. You know the drill!!

I changed both lower fluids on my 2007 Lund Tyee Gran Sport. The Tohatsu 9.8 kicker motor received 1 quart of 10W/30 and I kept the same Rotella oil in the 115 HP Mercury just because I mainly run it 10 miles one way about 3 times per month and 10 miles back. The oil was still very clean and I will change it this spring after a couple trips out. Four stroke outboards do not get very dirty and there is very little dust or dirt when they are only run in the water. I really like 4 stroke outboards. I did a water pump impeller and housing installation myself and tested it on the water to make sure it worked properly. I do this every 5 years. I keep my boat in a single storage unit 150 miles from my house and I only have to tow it 2 miles to the Missouri River in Chamberlain SD.

3.5 liters of LiquiMoly Marine/PWC 10W-40
K&N HP1008 Filter
Changed the spark plugs with 3x Bosch UR08CC
I will have an oil analysis done on what I pulled out as soon as the test kits I ordered arrive- it's in a brand new extractor so shouldn't be contaminated. Based on what the previous owner told me it was changed before I bought it, so it only had about 10 hours on the oil, and it certainly looked clean when I pulled it out so I don't expect it to be too interesting.
Also working on re-sealing the intake grate to the transom plate to hopefully fix some out of the hole cavitation. Can't wait for it to actually be warm enough to ride it again

Changed out my lower unit oil on my 60 hp ETEC with some quicksilver blend. I check for water every season but this is the first time I’ve changed it and the magnetic plug was fairly fuzzy. No water though.
