With the constant threads about "What oil is best. . ."
I'm surprised that I haven't seen anything on Gator Tail now recommending 15w-50 weight instead of 10w-30 as was always spec'ed. Perhaps I missed it. http://s11583.pcdn.co/wp-content/upload ... enance.pdf

Very interesting. I don't know anyone who runs 15w50. I wonder if they just recently found out that that is better for the engines or something. I have a gdlt with over 2000 hours that I've always used 10w30 in with no issues. Who knows lol

I bet 15/50 keeps them from puking oil all over everything. Hence keeping phone calls to the shop down?

OMG, I have a 2012 gator tail and I have been using the not to use RED GREASE, since my first tube of Amsoil ran out and I couldn't find it anywhere except by ordering it and my lower unit is still running and not taking more grease than it should. Is gator tail racist against indians?

I don't think anyone is implying that you should go throw all your Amsoil Z-Rod 10w-30 into a ditch. However, as I pointed out --- with the weekly "which oil is best" threads where everyone gets into a pissing match over which 10w-30 is best, I was surprised to see the GT recommendation.
You can pour your sister's 55-gallon drum of KY into your ProDrive for all I care.
WChauvin - you probably don't know anyone who runs 15w-50 because it's really not a common weight.

No, I sure don't bro, hell, maybe it is better. I guess they wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't the right stuff for the motor. Thanks for the info and the post bro
