I am still running M1 v-twin 20/50 in my big boat and M1 4t 10/40 in the jet boat and supercharged jet ski's. They have consistently tested well on all the forums and both have high levels of zddp (>1600ppm or 1300 for the 4t). Never bought into the purple gimmick and plan on sticking with a company that has consistently produced great products from their own R&D since I have been around racing.

Both these oils are (offroad or non-catalyst) motorcycle rated and according to a letter from ExxonMobil that is somewhere on this forum, most suited to high performance marine engines.

Yup.

Mobil has a great chart that shows Zinc, Phosphourus and many other things on all their oils on an easy to read chart here:

and like I said as the VRI is showing 1400 ppm and 1300 ppm of Zinc and Phos / ZDDP. Again the general statements overall of opinions of how much is really needed to offer very good anti wear protection. Oil is all about balance - you can not over base one additive too much because it can over power other additives from doing there job.

Racing oil = less detergents but more antiwear zinc... or so they claim.
so less wear but dirty oil and engine deposits unless you change it every weekend which is what racing oil is meant for.
I`ll stick to regular oil.
