Hey guys,
Setup:
Lund 1875 Crossover XS
Merc 150XL FS
Merc Spitfire 14x19p
We run the boat in temps between 70-90* (typically between June and Sept) in Minnesota spring/summers. Its tough for us to get out on the water consistently having small kids now. The motor sees maybe 20 hours of use a season...we do alot of a trolling with the MK Terrova.
I am debating whether or not the Merc/Quicksilver 25w40 (syn blend) or the Merc 10w30 (dino) would be "better" for our situation?
Whats interesting is Merc now recommends the 10w30 as opposed to the 25w40. After the warranty is done this year, I wouldn't be opposed to running the Rotella T6 5w40 or the Rotella 15w40.
