When I bought our boat 10 years ago it came with a jug of Rotella, I just kept using it. Happy so far... Yanmar 3GM

Many thanks and please know that I, for one, love to see and partake in this kind of discussion, I just need to know what to do...

When I installed the new engine in my 40 two years ago I asked the mechanic about using synthetic oil and was told absolutely not! For the reasons already explained here.
