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®.

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.
