Default RE: Type of Outboard Oil

Which ever oil you decide to use, make sure it has the TCW3 rating. I had a customer use a synthetic PWC oil and I feel it attributed to his engine bearing failure. The PWC oil was not for use in TCW3 applications. Make sure you read that part.

someguy (7/16/2008)Royal purple gave me no economic benfit that I could see. TMS highly recommenedd it, but my boat runs great since ignoring them. I ran Yamhaha on West marine TCW3 for 600 hour, no problems at all.






i was just wondering what a yamhaha was and where you could find one of these. if you are so concerned about the price of oil, why would you go to the most expensive place in town to get it ? i have checked out the royal purple website and it seems to be one of the best brands out there. there is a lot of great info on their site. for all those who have serious posts out there using a high quality oil like royal purple or an oem brand will extend the life of your engine. a few extra dollars for oil is a lot cheaper than a new engine. boats are run under extreme conditions and i don't see why anyone would want to take the chance with a low quality oil

Optimax oil is $25.98/gal @ Doc's if you have your own container. Much better than the $38 at West Marine.
