Hey everyone i got a maxum 2001 2300 sc with a 5.7 (350) with 413 h on it . Long story short i ordered the wrong oil and ended up with some royal purple max cycle 20w50 . i bought a case ( 6 qt ) . Can i use it for my oil change or should i buy something else . Thanks . BTW i just bought the boat couple month ago and never asked the previous owner of what he was using . Thnaks for the input .
Thats ATV and Motorcycle oil.
Boat engines and atv's are not the same engine by design. They rev differently and run under different loads.
I would not use it in your boat.
Try and sell it and buy the correct oil.
I would use what Mercruiser recommends or any good grade of oil you use in your car
