Superior Protection Against Engine WearMarine engines operate under high loads and RPMs for extended periods of time, causing traditional automotive oils to break down and lose viscosity. To ensure good protection, the NMMA set minimum shear stability requirements for FCW. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oil greatly exceeds the FCW shear stability requirements, outperforming competitive marine engine oils to deliver a superior lubricating film. Formula 4-Stroke® Synthetic Oil also contains robust antiwear additives that further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions (see Four-Ball Wear Test graph).
While automobile engines normally operate at around 2,500 rpm, outboard motors can run twice as fast, requiring greater levels of wear protection and better bearing durability than automobiles. In addition, prolonged idling and low operating temperatures contribute to fuel dilution, further thinning the oil. To ensure adequate protection for their engines, marine engine manufacturers set minimum high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity limits for marine engine oil. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oils are shear stable and formulated with sophisticated oil additive chemistry, exceeding the HTHS requirements of both the API and NMMA FC-W.
Excellent Antirust PerformanceMarine engines are prone to rust, leading to uncontrolled wear and premature engine failure. However, good rust protection is not natural to engine oil. It comes only by design. Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oil is fortified with a special antirust agent, even more than required to pass stringent NMMA FC-W antirust testing. 4 Stroke Outboard Motor Warranty CertifiedFormula 4 Stroke Marine Synthetic Motor Oil is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) for use in four-stroke outboard motors. This high quality oil demonstrates outstanding performance, exceeding the NMMA "FC-W" (Four Cycle Water) specification requirements. Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oil fulfills the warranty requirements of four-stroke outboard motor manufacturers.
ApplicationsAMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil (WCF) and 10W-30 Motor Oil (WCT) is recommended for gasoline fueled four stroke marine engines, outboard, inboard, inboard / outboard (I/O) and personal watercraft motors. AMSOIL 10W-40 WCF motor oil is recommended for the following applications whenever an AMSOIL 10W-30 WCT motor oil is recommended for the following applications whenever an

Reduced Friction and Wear Excellent Rust and Corrosion Protection Long Seal Life Superior Foam Prevention Service LifeFour stroke outboard motors and personal watercraft applications: Due to potential fuel dilution or water contamination, change oil at the engine or watercraft manufacturer recommended interval. Inboard and I/O applications: Change oil at two times the engine manufacturer recommended interval or one year, whichever comes first. For best results use AMSOIL Ea full flow oil filters. They are designed for extended drain intervals, stop smaller particles, have less restriction, and last longer than regular filters Mixing AMSOIL Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
