Ok kind of a dumb question but yeah. I just bought my first boat this year. It has a 1983 MerCruiser 898 305 v8 in it. The guy at the local boating store had no idea what oil to use and said to look online but i cant find anything.

Re: What oil to use?

If you don't want to use what the manufacturer suggests, then here are a few links to other oil threads to help assist you in choosing your oil.
If you don't know what the manufacturer suggests, well, that info is in these other threads too.

They all come down to the same thing, people posting something like
"I use ___(Fill in the blank)___ and it works great"
