I like synthetics for the most part. They seem to break down a little quicker when you introduce gas or contaminents to it. I don't think they recover well to mishaps (excessive heat). I don't think they belong in most roller valve train engines, but that is ONLY an opinion that I have. I have actually seen roller lifters began to slide along on the lobes of roller camshafts because (in my opinion) the oil was simply too slick for the lifter to work properly and began to slide and create wear problems. However, some of the more advanced synthetic oils work just fine in that inviroment. (according to other sources). My suggestion! When you decide on a reputable shop to service your boat, simply sit down and chat with them about what there preference is on your particular boat. If they sway, and don't seem to be able to converse with you about it. Then your decision just got harder.

Respectfully,
Steve
