AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic-Blend Marine Engine Oil is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association for use in four-stroke outboards, inboards, stern-drives, and personal watercraft. Designed to withstand high-rpm operation and constant water exposure, it effectively prevents engine wear and the formation of rust and corrosion. The oil maintains a consistent lubricating film due to its excellent shear stability, thereby protecting engine components under high stress. Specifically formulated for Mercury and Mercruiser motors, this oil complies with Mercury's guidelines against using full-synthetic oils. It provides outstanding endurance under high stress and high rpm, along with enhanced rust and corrosion protection, making it a top choice for marine engines.

AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic-Blend Marine Engine Oil Description

AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic-Blend Marine Engine Oil is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association for use in four-stroke outboards, inboards, stern-drives, and personal watercraft. Designed to withstand high-rpm operation and constant water exposure, it effectively prevents engine wear and the formation of rust and corrosion.

25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil

Engine performance and reliability are key to a successful day fishing or boating. High-rpm operation and constant exposure to water, however, invite engine wear and formation of rust and corrosion, reducing engine performance and life. AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil guards against wear while delivering excellent protection against rust and corrosion. It is Warranty Secure® and will not void your marine engine’s warranty.

AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil
  • Excellent high-stress, high-rpm endurance
  • Increased rust and corrosion protection

Protects Against Wear

Marine engines operate under high loads and rpm for extended periods. On average, a marine engine powering a boat 30 mph runs at about 5,000 rpm. In contrast, an automotive engine powering a car 60 mph runs at about 2,000 rpm. Higher stress causes traditional automotive oils to break down and lose viscosity. AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil is designed with excellent shear stability to deliver a consistent lubricating film. It helps guard engine components from wear for maximum life.

Excellent Anti-Rust Performance

Marine engines are prone to rust and corrosion due to constant exposure to humid, wet environments. Rust on engine parts acts like sandpaper, scouring bearings, the cylinder wall, piston rings and other components, while aluminum pistons and other parts can corrode. Rust and corrosion reduce engine power and eventually cause catastrophic failure.

Good rust protection is not natural to motor oil; it comes only by design. AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil is fortified with potent inhibitors that guard against damaging rust and corrosion.

NMMA Certified

AMSOIL 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Marine Engine Oil is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) for use in four-stroke outboards, inboards, sterndrives (inboard/outboards) and PWC. This high-quality oil demonstrates outstanding performance and exceeds the NMMA “FC-W” (Four Cycle – Water) specification requirements.

Excellent

Originally I was using too light of an oil and I went to this 25W40 and was very happy with the oil pressure increase and now it doesn’t seem to go through any oil. Big block Chevy

BEEN USING THIS 25W-40 SINCE it has been offered

Great Oil. Have used it on my 1998 7.4 MPI Bravo 3 since it was first offered. Very little oil consumption. No smoke; engine have been running great with good oil pressure at idle at operating temperature.
