The only problem you might run into is burning more oil , when I used it I was burning about a qt. per motor ever 15 hours. I ran into this problem and went back to quicksilver 25w 40 and I dont burn any now.

Amzoil and Royal P are great oils, But they cost. I use the
Merc syn and my oil temps run cooler when running hard.
I also change it ever 50 Hours.
