GL4 was what was recommended for me by the engine parts shop. Probably doesn’t matter so much on which you use as most of the time it’s based on the environmental temperature that the engine will be running in.

Enjoyable video again, thank you. Have you considered taking the inshore East Looe channel into Poole Harbour entrance? It cuts quite distance off when approaching from the East, and allows one to sail right into the entrance.My current boat is far too deep in draft, but I used to enjoy going that way in my previous boat. One can chat to the bathers on Poole Head beach on the way past! Ha!
