Synthetic or Conventional Oil for your Boat's Engine?

For engines, synthetic oil is the way to go. Here’s why. Conventional engine ;oils lead to carbon buildup on the pistons. These oils also leave deposits in the combustion chamber and on the back of the throttle blades. All of this means engine noise, reduced power, and drivability issues for you and your motor.

Less Buildup

During the combustion process, engine oil seeps into the chamber through the PCV system and in the form of blow-by from the crankcase. Conventional oil is rich in carbon causing deposits to form. Carbon, which is a natural molecular magnet, adheres to pistons, valves, throttle blades, and combustion chambers. When an engine is tasked with a heavy load, such as pulling another boat, this buildup is made even worse.

No Carbon = No Deposits

Since engine manufacturers have optimized fuel delivery, engines run consistently at an optimal air/fuel ratio. There are no lean periods to burn off carbon buildup, as you could with carbureted engines. Taking your boat on a run at wide-open throttle and blowing her out worked for cleaning carbon deposits in the past but not anymore. Because the air/fuel ratio is optimized, this no longer works. Now, only chemicals or friction remove carbon deposits. Synthetic oil has no carbon. It leaves no deposits. Another benefit, synthetic engine oils can last an entire boating season.
