Oil & Plug Opinions
30 wt refers to the viscosity charactersitics of the oil. It can still be
either conventional or synthetic. As a matter of fact, Volvo makes a
straight 30 wt synthetic oil for its marine engines.

'97 Chapparal w/ a Volvo-Penta 5.7L Carb w/ SX Outdrive
Questions:
1) Volvo pushes synthetics for crankcase and outdrive, yet all the
boat places around me (Austin - San Antonio) said to use regular
20w-50 motor oil in crankcase and non-suynthetic in outdrive...
Of course they said to change every 100 hours or per season.
Experience / Opinions?
2) Any thoughts / experience on spark plugs for this motor???
Thanks!
Hmmm, the people I talk to in Ohio say to use straight 30 wt in my 1989
5.7.
