I searched and it didn't bring a single thing up which struck me as odd, I guess it means I didn't do it right but anway...

I'm not sure as to which Oil I can use in my 73 merc 140.

It says SAE 20 or 30 weight with an A.P.I. of SE which I have not found!

Can I use quicksilver outboard 4 stroke oil?

What do you guys use?

thanks.

You can also stop at any truck stop or most auto parts and get Rotella T straight 30 weight. Meets all the requirements and is good oil...

Not wanting another oil debate..:eek:

the rotella has a lot of zinc doesn't it. That should be better theoretically correct?
