I just bought a VIP Boat and was going to change the oil in a I/O 2006 Mercruiser Alpha One and was wandering how much oil and what kind would be the best to use. Anything would help... Thanks
 
What engine?

Use Mercruis


What engine?

Use Mercruiser products and save your receipts w/a logbook since you may still have some warranty left on it.

Oil: use 25W40

4.3 L and I should use the mercruiser 2 cycle oil?
 
2 cycle!
I don't think so


2 cycle!
I don't think so. Thats for older outboards.
Use the 25W50 Merc inboard gas engine oil as Guy says. Thats what your owners manual will recommend.

As for the drive leg it will take slightly less than 2 quarts (liters) of Merc High Performance gear oil. Its kind of a greenish color.

Any good boat shop will be able to fix you up with everything you need. Don't forget to change the engine oil filter. Use a Merc filter.
