I have a Volvo MD1 that is running fine. Other boat owners I have spoken with suggest I use a new synthetic oil (Mobil 1) to help improve lubrication at start up. It sounds like a good idea but on the other hand it has been running fine for 35 years with good old 30 weight. Any thoughts on this?

Stay with the oil you used for 35 years. Mobil 1 is an excellent product but it contains detergents that may free up sludge in your engine.

If you do a rebuild and start off with a clean engine - absolutely - Mobil 1 is the way to go.
