Oil change Question 1995 Malibu Sunsetter


Recommended Posts

Hey all, 

 

I swear I searched, searched, and searched some more but couldn't find anything definitive for my engine. I have a 350 mercrusier mag and am about to buy Delo 400 LE/SDE SAE 15W-40 Motor Oil - 1 Gallon Jug for $12.57. If I should not use this oil please let me know! If I'm bad at interneting and am missing a solid post on oils for this engine please also let me know :).  I was planning on going to napa and asking them which filter I need. Is this the best bet, does anyone happen to know and I can just order on amazon? Thanks!

If you don't know what filter you need then just look at the number on the one that is already on there ;)  It would be interesting to see the conversation with the parts monkey at Napa when you ask him for a filter for a 1995 Mercruiser tournament ski engine

Delo 400 LE is fine, ran it for years.  Napa carries Rotella T 15W40, which is what my engine builder recommended to me and I'm running now.

Oil filter is Napa Gold 1061.

I would hit that whole engine with a dusting of WD-40 and prevent additional corrosion.  Obviously, stay away from the belts and pulleys.

I have a 95 response with the 350 mag ski efi and I run a wix 51069 ( Napa 1069). This filter is about and inch taller than the factory filter and the 51061 (Napa 1061) ads another inch. The engine takes 5.5 qts and I run 15w40. Oil brand arguments can go on for decades but I run supertec 15w40. I have run it in multiple engines (diesel and gas) for years without issue. Normally about $10/gal at Walmart so go ahead and get 2 so you have some to top off for the rest of the summer.
