I know a guy that is looking for the benefits of the V Twin 20-50, but in a lower viscosity. His oil pressure is on the high side, so he does'nt want to go with 20-50. Would the V Twin 10-40 be a good substitute? And would it help with oil temps as the 20-50 does? Thanks |

Another thing I was concerned about were seals in the engine. I was told that getting over 240* could cause damage there. |
Re: Marine Lubrication
I would go with the Gold Cap 15w50. I am not too familiar with the 10w40. We don't have many requests for the 10w40. Kindanova, if you want, I can get you an XOM distributor in your area. Just let me know. NY is out of my area of best effort, but I will do what I can. I have gotten several OSOers hooked up with XOM distributors.
GOOD LUCK! :drink: |
Re: Marine Lubrication
Vandy, I have a distributor about 20 mi. from me but thanks.
I was asking about the V-Twin 10-40 on behalf of a guy in Maryland. I suggested that he read the info in this thread, as he is the one with the high oil pressure. He's a big boy and all growed up so it's up to him now :D |

You can now see that Kendall is offering a Fully Synthetic Gear Lube 80W-90. It has a GL-5 rating and excellent additive package including anti-corrosion additives. It is a PAO based product and would be SIMULAR in base structure to Amsoil and Mobil in that respect. Kendall also has added a Fully synthetic 5W-30 and 10W-30. They do not have a 20W-50 Synthetic yet. I was asked what I would use and from the data I have reviewed my answer would be Royal Purple; Mobil-1; Kendall; Redline; Torco; Amsoil or Mercury HP. Redline has an ester base and tons of HP additives. It has my attention and I would like more feedback on it regarding performance and any foaming issues. It's hard to miss using any of these outstanding products. |

I hear M-1 0W-20 buy 3 get 3 free at PepBoys....who knows.. :D

Re: Marine Lubrication
I was asked what syn oils have a ZDDP level greater than .2
Answer: Synergyn, M1 Racing, M1 motorcycle oils and Torco. |
Re: Marine Lubrication
On engine oil temps: (perhaps this was touched on earlier and I missed it) I was told that operating oil temps. above 220* (so that combustion moisture will be vaporized) but below 280* were acceptable for conventional oils and that synthetics could handle even higher temps. for longer periods. Anyone have any really reliable info. on this? --- Jer

Re: Marine Lubrication
The moisture is combusted, but there isn't the level of oxidation like in an industrial application. Syns do handle higher temps for longer periods. The molecules are synthetic polymers which don't fall out as quick as a conventional oil. Mobil states "that the Mobil 1 is suitable for high-performance cars, particularly hot-running or heavily loaded vehicles."
Normally you will see a decrease in oil temperature and a decrease in pressure during idle. Sometimes you will see a higher HP at high revs due to the viscosity increase. |
