PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic Outboard Motor Oil 10W-40
Formula 4-Stroke® Marine (WCF) 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-30010B 10W-40
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-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®.
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.
