Default More discussion on I/O motor oil

...
I have heard and read (in earlier postings) straight 30W oil is good to
use, and others recommend 25W40. I have an 1986 350 I/O and have been
using the 25W40 for several years, but am now wondering if I can or should
use straight 30W oil? Did they even have 25W40 back in 86, or is this an
improvement over alternatives?

My understanding is that some of the newer I/O engines based on the GM 350
block come with muti-viscosity oil recommendations. Those of your vintage
call for straight 30 weight, IIRC.
