no one reads the manual anymore for anything... just in too much of a hurry.
I work at a new car dealer and you would be surprised how many owners bring
their cars in for problems. All they need to do is read the manual to find
how it works.

I might have missed some messages in this thread, but has anyone suggested
reading the owner's manual?

I think the Merc oil is 25w40 and really isn't much more than the price
of
regular oil. I would go with what the marina said unless you do a lot of
hard running or live where it's HOT! The use 40

Just had a new MERC factory rebuilt engine put in 2 months ago and now
it's
time to change the oil in it. Marina that put engine in put in
straight
30
weight oil and he said to stick with this grade. Is this ok? Thanks.
