I sent Indmar an email about the semi-synthetic vs full synthetic and received a response that semi-synthetic is the minimum requirement but full synthetic is just fine

Note from Indmar - CHANGE YOUR OIL!
So rotella 15w40 for 08lsv since can't find penzoil marine...?
Does rotella make a marine oil or will this work?

Look at the certifications on the bottle. I've been using the Rotella or Delo for years.
From older threads on this topic:
. . .
From the owners manual.
Indmar recommends 15W-40 Pennzoil Marine in their
engines. If not available, use a 15W40 motor oil with an
A.P.I. classification rating of SL/SJ/CI4/CH4/CG4 or
equivilent. Synthetic oils are not recommended until after
the engine has been run for 100 hours.
. . .
This is also on the Indmar web site.
http://www.indmar.com/About/ContactIndmar/faq.html#2.4
"Indmar recommends (and uses at our factory) Pennzoil Marine 15W40 Motor Oil. If Pennzoil 15W40 Marine Oil is not available in your area, we suggest using 20W40 or 20W50 oil meeting the API specification of SJ/CG4 or better.
Synthetic oil that meets our requirement of 15W40and API rating of SJ/CJ4 is acceptable to use after 100 hours or operation with the recommended (not synthetic) oil. The use of synthetic oil does not alter the requirement for oil changes at 50-hour intervals.
Older operator manuals, and other publications that are not regularly updated will not be revised to show this latest engine oil recommendation. Current operator manuals, and other service publications that receive regular updates will receive this revised recommendation the next time they are updated".Last edited by kaneboats; 07-11-2017 at 03:28 PM.

I've used the Rotella T 15W40 for years. Never bothered with the synthetic. This was what my dealer recommended.
I have not seen that last bit, however. I wonder why they would recommend going up to a 20w40 or 20w50 in lieu of Penzoil Marine?
BTW, I haven't seen Penzoil Marine (with the exception of 2 stroke) for sale in quite a while.2007 XLV Gravity Games Edition
