Re: Marine Lubrication
A few asked if there is a synthetic group IV/V oil that unlike Mobil-1 V-Twin has Moly added for reduced friction and it's beneifts such as additional anti-wear properties and an increase in fuel economy.
Yes Amsoil Severe Service Racing 20W-50 and Redline 20W-50 have IV/V bases and all the good additives including moly.
Both great products as I have used both with much success.
Keep the questions coming!

A bunch of e-mails asking what to use in 2007 that is a convenient PAO product to attain and has a good track record in offshore use.
Definately 20W-50 Mobil-1 V-Twin all the way and the new Mobil-1 Oil filters are excellent and all can be had at most autoparts stores.

First Oil Analysis on 496 HOs
Results of analysis on new engines. I changed the oil
at 30 hours. Installed Merc filters and Mobil 1 v-twin 20w 50.
This analysis was after changing the oil at 50 hours (20 hours on the oil)

Continue to be 100% PAO Grp. IV./V.

Although AMSOIL has publicly stated that its XL motor oils are Group III based and its other motor oils are PAO based, specific formulary information beyond that is exclusive and proprietary. AMSOIL views synthetic base oils the same as it views additives.
The XL line is GRPIII and the others are PAO.
Don't forget about the AMSOIL MCV 20w-50 Motorcycle Oil, great stuff.
