I use Lucas racing oil in the race boat 20-50 and regular Lucas oil in the brown boat.

If your not into that I would recommend valvoline or Kendal 👍👍👍

I've been a long time user/seller of Wix filters and I recommend them for everything I can, but for the boat I've been using the K&N oil filters because of the built in nut that the Wix doesn't have.

The guys at Bostick told me to run either wix or Napa gold filters and either joe Gibbs or vr1 oil. I can't afford the joe Gibbs so I will be running vr1
