What kind of oil are you guys running in your 460s? I had no clue what was in my boat before, and i swapped it to some Mercury 25W-40, but I had to swap my heads and im going to have to change it again.  Im just wondering if anyone has a preference of what kind of oil to run.  My motor is mostly stock with a mild cam in it. Thanks

I'm not running a Ford but good oil is important in any engine.  I'm using Chevron Delo 400 15W/40 diesel oil in my BBC.

Whatever oil you decide to run, just make sure it has enough zinc in it.

I ended up getting 10 quarts of staight Valvoline 10w-40. Would it be wise to pull out a quart or so an add some sort of zinc-containing substitute? 

Thanks for the replies!!
