I use lucas oil 20-50 or redline 20-50 because of the zinc contents. most conventional oils dont have much in there.  I use baldwin filter or wix racing filters. either way you should be just fine going from 30 to 40. ive always ran 20-50 in every boat motor ive ever owned.

Yeah edelbrock makes a zinc additive, I use valvoline racing 20w50 because it has a lot of zinc in it .

I just use about 3oz. of Comp Cams brake in lube with the oil change.. you can have too much too...

Depending on if the engine your talking about has anything special going on, I would have zero issues running 40 wt.

You can also use ZDDP in ur oil for the zinc! That's what's in the VR1 I also recommend running 20/50!
