Are you a boating enthusiast who love enjoying on-water adventures? If yes, it is important to keep the engine of your boat well-powered up. This will require keeping the engine well-maintained and using marine grade oil that help makes the most of your adventure time on the water. It is very important to choose the right fuel and oil as it helps in increasing the lifespan and performance of the engine by several notches.

The marine outboard engines are available in two categories, two-stroke and four-stroke. Latest marine engines come in four-stroke but there are still many two-stroke engines on the water. Depending on which engine your boat has, you will have to choose the best marine grade oil because the lubrication requirements of both these engines are very different. For instance, in two-stroke engines, fuel is mixed with oil and it keeps the engine lubricated as it passes through it. The oil burns along with the fuel and exits through the exhaust system. In the case of four-stroke engines, it is lubricated by oil which is pumped from and returns to a sump repeatedly like in a truck or a car.

... majority of engines in newer boats are especially engineered to be more environment and user-friendly. These engines have extended lifespans and have reduced emissions. This has become possible only by using high-quality and high-performing marine grade oil.

The functioning of an automobile engine and a four-stroke marine engine is very similar, but the oil used in passenger car engines cannot be used in marine engines because of two factors – wear and water, having an impact on it. Thus, it is imperative to use marine grade oil that provides high degree of corrosion protection. It is always better to look for marine grade oil that has been recommended by the engine manufacturer. One can also look for the logo of NMMA or the National Marine Manufacturers Association on the oil. This agency certifies marine grade oils and ensure that they meet precise needs.

As per NMMA, FC-W products are best suited for four-stroke marine engines and TC-W3 oils are suitable for a two-stroke marine engine. Using these oils ensure high performance, reduced wear and greater fuel efficiency.
