Hi,
This is my first post here.
I have a boat cruiser with twin 5.7 Volvo 2008 engine (~550hours)
Volvo suggest Synt/SAE30 oil in their engine.
Previous owner switch to Mercruiser 10w30 (mineral) because engine burn oil. This is probably due to a bad breakin.
This summer (2013) I switch it to 25w40 Mecruiser (mineral) oil. (Oh ! we are located in Quebec/Canada, minimum temp is 50degres and Max 85degres during boat season)
There is an oil leak on my main rear seal. I do not want to have it fix since its just 2-3-4 drops per ride. Thats bug me, my engine room is clean like a showroom.
Now my questions;
What do you think If I add "No Leak" stuff in my engine ?( http://www.goldeagle.com/products/productF295.aspx )
My goal is to run her next summer with Valvoline 20w50 HighLife (with noleak additive) Valvoline offer also SAE30 HighLife (do not forget Volvo suggest SAE30).
or I keep my 25w40 mecruiser oil and include a bottle of NoLeak.
There is also possibility to use 10w40 Valvoline HLife.
at the end ;
Both engine are leaking (2-3drops from main rear seal).
Both engines burn oil (bad breakin).
Both engine run A1
What do you think running them with 20w50 Valvoline High life ?
thanks all
