Engine Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W
certified 10W‑30 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil for general,
all‑temperature use. If NMMA certified synthetic blend 25W‑40
4‑Stroke outboard oil is preferred, use Mercury or Quicksilver
synthetic blend 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil. If the recommended
Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified outboard oils are
not available, a major FC‑W certified 4‑stroke outboard oil may
be used.
IMPORTANT: The use of detergent oils, multi‑viscosity oils
(other than Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified oil or a
major brand NMMA FC‑W certified oil), synthetic oils, low quality
or oils that contain solid additives are not recommended.
Recommended SAE viscosity
