PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 10W-30 Formula 4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oil
(WCT) is a premium quality synthetic formulation engineered for
the harsh operating conditions of marine environments. It
withstands the intense mechanical action of continuous, high
RPM operation to deliver superior viscosity protection. Formula
4-Stroke® Marine Synthetic Motor Oil is specially fortified
with a heavy treatment of advanced additives that protects
motors against wear, rust and deposits. It excels in both high
horsepower applications and all-day trolling
conditions.
4-Stroke
Outboard Motor Warranty Certified Formula 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.
• NMMA Registration #FB-30011B 10W-30
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 (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. 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 (see
graph).
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-30 Motor
Oil (WCT) is recommended for gasoline fueled
four-stroke outboard, inboard, inboard/outboard
(I/O) and personal watercraft motors. AMSOIL
WCT motor oil is recommended for the following
applications whenever an SAE 5W-30, 10W-30 or
straight SAE 30 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-30 is recommended for use in place of
5W-30 as specified by Honda®.

•
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.
