    Not for me, I live in North Carolina and have my boat only in freshwater lakes. If you live up North or have a closed cooling system it may differ. Check your manual.

    I e-mailed Indmar on the 15w40 subject. Indmar said that any 15w40 with SL/CH-4 grade meets requirements. So, something like Rotella T 15w40 will be fine. As far as changing the oil, get a fake a...

    You should be fine towing with a Frontier. I think they have a tow limit of 5000. The minivans usually have limit of 3500. Check your weight limit. If it is 5k, no problem. Nissan's are built great.
