i still need to get the motor in for its regular maintenance like the water pump and lower unit grease, but i will leave that up to Anderson Marine to handle.
TNBB, Yes you have a 4 stroke... I really think you need someone who has done this before to service your motor. The Pic's you posted gives you the options on oil Grade/weight and amount as well as oil filter data. Now, All Mercury 50 HP and up 4 strokes use Yama Power Heads. Walmart Carries the oil and I am sure the filter you need for your motor with respect to it's HP under the quicksilver Mercury brand. But any automotive oil that meets the spec's on your data plate has to be honored by the manufacturer, just save the oil bottle for proof.

Now if you can wait until April I would be glad to service and do anything needed for you motor for less than half of any Marine dealer. But whoever does it should be qualified. You have a lot of $$ invested in your rig and I am sure you want to protect your investment. <'TK><
