Picked up a used Coleman 5hp outboard today for a coulpe hundred dollars. Oil spec is 10w30 or 10w40 api SE to SJ. I picked up a liter of super tech 10w40 which is SN, as finding SJ or earlier is pretty much impossible. Im assuming its totally fine to use and im maybe just over thinking it. Motor is a 2012 model
Coleman/Parsun outboard oil question.

I have never heard of Coleman relabeling outboards- I wonder who really makes it. I would think the 10w40 SN is fine.
Interesting!
I always wanted to try a Briggs & Stratton outboard....
MAINLY because I had always wished I could have done *exactly* what they did (when I was a kid) ....
People complain they are loud.... I think it probably sounds exactly like it is supposed to sound like.

Only equivalent for that Coleman 5Hp would be Tomos 4.8....but its 80ccm 2stroker...

And Tomos outbards were in short supply after our breakup...they ended production shortly after 1991
That Coleman/Parsun model line looks more like rebranded Nissan/Tohatsu line
Not to worry, SN supersedes SE to SJ. Also, Supertech will be fine.

A friend has one. I was going to rig up an underwater exhaust using iron plumbing pipe to tone it down, but he let me he carb get plugged up and so he abandoned the idea.
Imagine a rototiller strapped to your transom. That's what it sounded like.
