It will help somewhat with consumption. My big blocks have always had this thing where you check oil level even after blasting and things are OK. Then a fews days later it will have taken a drink. Nature of the beast.......:cool-smiley-011: d |

Maybe a bad valvestem seal if your lucky. I don't know how hard you run the boat but 3qts. seems like a lot of oil in 20hrs. I had an engine doing that and had cracked rings. I kept up on adding oil for the season. Try not to let it ruin your season and then get into the engine in the offtime. d |

It's a professional racing oil. It may be the one to beat. A very stout product. http://www.motorspotstore.com/moraoi.html |

Might have my mechanic run leakdown test to be on the safe side....all my other vitals look good though. Thanks! :drink: |

My call is even between those two. The Harley guys like Eagle and Amsoil and then M-1 I hear..

Thank you sir.... I have used Vtwin in the past in my Spectre and it cooled my oil temps down.
I'm not to thrilled with the Brad Penn in my Skater... Penn makes all the 30wt oil for Briggs and Startton lawn mowers. ZDDP is 1400-1500 ppm. It's a green colored oil. They make a racing and V-Twin oil. When you see those decreased temps With M-1 V-Twin on the gauges it means the engines are working a lot less harder and the wear will be decreased. M-1 V-twin is a really an outstanding product. |
