Which oil for Volvo/ Penta 5.0L?
I just broke in my Volvo/Penta 5.0L Ford engine on SAE 30 non-syn oil. Volvo reccomends SAE 30 synthetic but I can't find it locally anywhere. I suppose I could order it.

Is there an alternative. What should I run in this engine? I would like to use synthetic but I can't find it in the recommened 30 weight.

Can I use a multiviscosity engine oil?

You can use 10W30 synthetic.

In Norway Mobil has a arangement(atleas had one) where they shipped oil to you not charging the transport if you ordered more than 100L at the time.

100L is not mutch if you have a few frinds that also do boating.
