JUST GOT BACK FROM THE HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALER AND HE TALKED ME INTO CHANGING FROM REGULAR 20W50 TO A SYNTHETIC BLEND. THATS IN THE HARLEY. WE ALL KNOW THAT A BOAT IS UNDER LOAD ALL OF THE TIME IT IS UNDER POWER, DO YOU GUYS THINK TODAYS TECHNOLOGY WOULD HELP THESE OLD ENGINES LAST A LITTLE LONGER, OR WOULD IT BE BETTER TO STAY WITH A STRAIGHT 30WT? I HOPE TO HEAR A LOT OF OPINIONS.
