IMPORTANT: Lubrication requirements for catalyzed engines differ from the requirements for nonācatalyzed engines. Some
marineāgrade lubricants contain high levels of phosphorus, which can damage the catalyst system on MerCruiser engines.
Although these highāphosphorus lubricants may allow acceptable engine performance, exposure over time will damage the
catalyst. Catalysts damaged by lubricants containing high levels of phosphorus may not be covered by the MerCruiser Limited
Warranty.
If Mercury MerCruiser FullāSynthetic, 20Wā40 oil is unavailable, use the following lubricants, listed in order of recommendation. If
you are servicing a catalyst engine, use these for short periods of time only.
1. Mercury/Quicksilver 25Wā40 Synthetic Blend, NMMA FCāWārated 4ācycle MerCruiser oil
2. Mercury/Quicksilver 25Wā40, NMMA FCāWārated 4ācycle MerCruiser oil
3. Other recognized brands of NMMA FCāWārated 4ācycle oils
4. A goodāgrade, straightāweight detergent automotive oil according to the last row of the operating chart below.
NOTE: We do not recommend nonādetergent oils, multiāviscosity oils (other than as specified), non FCāWārated synthetic oils,
lowāquality oils, or oils that contain solid additives.
