Oil is 15-50 Mobil-1
192 engine hrs.
525 efi Merc.
Oil changed every 25 hrs -I was told when I bought it at 164 hrs
I've changed it twice since I bought it with Mobil-1--15-50.
oil preasure droped to 20 lbs hot----28 cold. When we changed it
we put in 20-50 regular oil an the preasure is now back to normal.
Ran it on the hose at 2000-2500 rpms for 30 minutes stayed perfect !
Now what ?

Are you in warranty or out?
Suggested having the engine(s) gone over by a mechanic.
That oil in there had a lot of silicon which can unto itself cause wear.
I really suggest changing to V-Twin or Amsoil Series 2000 and sending in a sample at 15-20 hours before getting overly concerned..

You mechanic allegedly put something OTHER than Mobil-1 in your engine....I would look into it and get a lawyer my friend if you have it in writing.
