I hear idemitsu is very good for premix(I believe it's meant for rotary premixing) I use Pennzoil Marine and have used Castrol Marine before

Used Dino for about the first 85,000 miles (35,000 on new engine) and been running RP 5W30 ever since and now I have 100400 miles. Runs great and smooth.

Switched to RP 5W-30 at 2k miles, then to RP 15W-40 (or 10W-40, if I can't get 15W) at about 65k miles --- currently at ~137000 miles and going strong.

LOL ... actually, I don't have one preference over the other. What I really meant to write was what is/was available when I buy oil. I'm currently using 10W-40.
