I am planning to use shell rotella 15w40 since the pennzoil marine seems impossible to find lately.

Pennzoil Marine is available from Amazon. I ordered it by the case and now my SA doesn't use it, so now I have extra.

Owners manual states Indmar recommends 15W-40 Pennzoil Marine but if not available use a 15W-40 oil with A.P.I. ratings SL/SJ/CI4/CH4/CG5 or equivalent. Most 15W-40 oils meet this requirement. Everyone has their opinion on which brand is better.

Same here. Can't source Pennzoil locally any more so switched to the Rotella also.
My son went with me to the auto parts store to get oil for my car. He was asking why there are so many different kinds and what's up with the purple oil? For a 15 year old it is probably the same thing as me looking for tampons for my wife. Don't ask questions just get the ones she says to get.
So I had the talk with him, about the oil anyway. I should have just stuck with "oil opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one". It would have made things simpler.2007 XLV Gravity Games

Maxpower made a great point a while back in this same discussion. When was the last time you ever heard of anyone have an engine problem or failure due to the breakdown of the oil? You could probably run any modern oil in just about anything and be fine.

I agree completely. As long as you are using quality oil and changing it regularly you should be just fine. With that said, I have been using Rotella for a few years now.

I am a new 2015 Moomba Mojo owner. I believe it has the Raptor 6.2L engine. If I read the Manual correctly, it recommends 5W-30 oil. But in reading this thread, it seems like most of you use 15W-40. Can anyone tell me why that is? Or did I misunderstand something? I appreciate your help.

I saw on an Indmar manual online to use Mobil 1 oil. I see other places to use semi-synthetic. However Mobil 1 is full synthetic. I also don't understand why in some of the Raptor engines they use a screw on filter and some they use a cartridge filter. Trying to determine which oil to buy.
