Oil change

This sticky thread at the top I found was really helpful. Obviously you're not going to do the winterizing steps, but it shows all of the steps for the annual maintenance on a v-drive, and great pictures for the oil change.

Jumping on this thread.
1. I've seen many people recommend Shell Rotella 15w-40 oil. What I've seen in the stores is a diesel motor oil. Is this what is being used?
2. What do you recommend for oil filters? Owners manual calls for Pennzoil PZ-52. Is there a Fram or AC Delco equivalent that is recommended?

BTW, my boat is 2011 Launch 242 with 5.7 340 hp.

Diesel oil is dual rated.

I would not use Fram, I have a Ford block in mine so I use Motorcraft filters. Your block is just a GM 350 so any filter that is made for a GM 350 should do just fine I would think.

It's hard to search using my phone and this Tapatalk App, but if you get on here with a PC, there are some threads with the cross ref #s. Search for oil or oil change. Somewhere on here there is a thread of #s from 6-8 different companies.

I'm sure google will do the same thing for filter #s.

I got a deal on some Mobil 1 filters a few years ago, so I stocked up. I've also used Wix.
