This is just one of the reasons , read the last paragraph in these two articles . http://amsoilracing.com/index/News/2...om-marine-gn77 http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...int-clair.html I'm sure the Z-Rod 20w50 is also fine to use .
This is what sold me !!!!! http://www.trustedoil.com/Mercury_52...e_Teardown.htm

Interesting information. Here is the question I wrote amsoil about my engines and the response I got. I can't figure it out...................

Amsoil. I have been running the 20-50 motor oil and also the z-rod 20-50 motor oil. I have a high performance boat with twin 509-500 hp each. I run all day at 3500 rpms and up to 5200 rpms. Would the dominator 15-50 oil be better for my application that the regular 20-50 oil Thanks.

Amsoil's response. Jay;

I would stay with the 20W50, either ARO or ZRF, over the Dominator Oil in this situation.

In a performance or pleasure boat there really is not a big need for multiviscosity oil. These engines are starting at temps >70* not at 10*. Also thinner oil frees up HP...a lot of people overlook this in the quest for HP.
