Superior
Protection Against Engine Wear
Marine 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 FC-W. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke®
Marine Synthetic Motor Oil greatly exceeds the
FC-W shear stability requirements, outperforming
competitive oils to deliver a superior
lubricating film. Formula 4-Stroke® Synthetic
Oil also contains robust anti-wear additives
that further reduce wear in metal-to-metal
contact regions.
Excellent
Anti-Rust Performance
Marine 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 anti-rust agent, even
more than required to pass stringent NMMA FC-W
anti-rust testing.
Applications
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil (WCF) is recommended for gasoline
fueled four-stroke outboard, inboard,
inboard/outboard (I/O) and personal watercraft
motors. AMSOIL WCF motor oil is recommended for
the following applications whenever an SAE
10W-40, 15W-40, 25W-40 or straight SAE 40 oil is
called for:
Four-stroke outboard
motors: Honda®, Mercury®, Yamaha®,
Johnson®/Evinrude®, Bombardier/BRP®, Suzuki®,
Nissan®, Tohatsu®
Inboard and I/O:
Mercruiser®, Volvo Penta®, OMC®, Chrysler®
Marine, Crusader®, Marine Power®, Chevrolet®,
Ford®
Personal Watercraft:
Honda®, Yamaha®, Bombardier/BRP® (Sea-Doo®),
Polaris®
Note: AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic 10W-40 is
recommended for use in place of 25W-40 as
specified by Mercury®.

Service Life
•
Four-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.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor
Oil is compatible with conventional and
synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils
with other oils will, however, shorten the oil
life expectancy and reduce the performance
benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain
intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil
additives are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL motor oils.
