ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use of Supplemental Additives
Engine oils meeting PCM Engines’ recommendations
already contain a balanced additive treatment. The
use of supplemental additives which are added to the
engine oil by the customer are unnecessary and may
be harmful. PCM Engines does not review, approve or
recommend such products.
Synthetic Oils
Synthetic engine oils may be used in PCM Marine
Engines. Synthetic oils must meet the Engine Oil
Requirements for Classifi cation and Viscosity listed
below. The use of synthetic oil does not permit the
extension of oil change intervals.
Engine Oil Requirements
The following chart shows the recommended oil viscosity
for various ambient temperature ranges:
Prevailing Ambient Recommended A.P.I.
Temperature Classifi cation & Viscosity
Above 50˚F SAE 15W-40 “GF-4/SM”
Below 50˚F SAE 5W-30 “GF-4/SM”
IMPORTANT: The use of oils which contain “solid”
additives, non-detergent oils or low quality oils
specifi cally are not recommended.
WARRANTY NOTICE: PCM Engines reserves the right
to refuse warranty on part(s) and/or engine(s) damaged
by using improper fuels and engine oils.
