I wouldn't recommend running a motorcycle oil in your boat engine. Motor cycle oils have less friction modifiers for better clutch performance. Amsoil makes three different types of high Zinc content oil for harder working engines. The reason for the low Zinc in current automotive oils is that the Zinc causes the catalytic convertors to deteriorate. The Amsoil 15w40 Marine / Diesel oil is the lowest cost high zinc oil, then you have the Z-Rod famiy and then the Dominator racing oil. When choosing an oil please look for SAE standardized testing to compare them. I have never seen a test yet that showed that any brand was better then Amsoil, and I have looked. On another note WIX R series filters are 60 micron filters or should I say strainers. If you are looking for the best you can get and have room for a taller filter check out the Amsoil EA076, it's almost 2 quarts. My oil is so clean after 2 seasons that I hate to through it away.
