Hi, I have a Perkins 3.152, of unknown vintage, certainly pre 1974, I have been recommended to use SAE30 or 20W/50 grade oil. The engine oil pressure does reduce significantly after a few hours, the boat is on the Great Ouse, so the engine does run faster than on the canals, I know there is probably wear in the oil pump, however the compression is excellent, the engine starts even after a month of no use on a touch of the key. The question is what is the best oil to use?
