I change my impeller every season including this season. Boat is a fresh water boat only.

That's kind of what I was thinking.

I don’t have an oil temp gauge, pressure seems to stay around 40 from memory but doesn’t seem like it’s changed much depending on oil like the water temp has

I don’t recall the oil pressure changing much, seems like it’s usually around 40 off of memory. I don’t have an oil temp gauge so I really have no idea. You are correct on the 25/40 manufacturers recommendation but I think the extreme heat of Havasu warrants the 50wt.

When I first purchased my new to me boat I had it serviced and the mechanic put Kendall 20/50 in it and it ran great in regards to the engine temp. Last season I had a different mechanic service the boat and he put a semi-synthetic blend 10/40 made by the manufacturer in the boat and it seemed...

I picked this up from my tractor supply. Doesn’t seem like the 5w 40 ESP has the Ford stamp of approval but can’t find much else.

Yes, that picture is from Walmart; however, Autozone, Orileys, and Pep Boys are the same within a 50 mile radius. I did call Napa about Rotella T-6 and he said he hasn’t had any in 2-1/2 months.

For my 2019 F-350 I'm trying to find something approved by Ford which is why I'm getting away from Amsoil; however, the shelves around me are empty of pretty much all the HDEO. Should I just buy the first one I can find or hold out for one rather than the other, are they both pretty good? This...

I live in So Cal and drive a 19 F-350. I’ve been running Amsoil but wanted to switch to something that was approved that I could pick up on the shelves. O’Riley, Autozone, and Napa have nothing in stock for some reason as far as Rotella or…. Maybe I’ll just stick with Amsoil 🤷‍♂️

I have some oil on the shelf in the sealed quart that is probably close to 4 or 5 years old, does oil go bad sitting in the garage?

Would a boutique oil like Amsoil, Torco, Schaeffers, be better or just switch to Mobil 1?

In my sandrail I have a 3.6L LFX V6 that is running between 4,000 - 6,000 rpm when out in the dunes. The previous owner was just running Castrol 5w-30 but I was thinking about running Mobil 1 5w-30 but due to the higher rpm was thinking the Torco SR-5 5-30 with a Mobil 1 filter would be a better...
