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®.
NMMA FC-W • API SL
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.
