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).

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-
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.
