Also look at this test. It is about motorcycle oils but still provides good info about a couple of the oils in this discussion.

They used to blend in some Group V base into the Series 3000 oils but that is too expensive now.
So my money is on the premium Amsoil products or Mobil.

An easy way to find out what the Preferred Customer prices are is to follow the instructions here http://www.modernoils.com/Purchase_at_Dealer_Cost.html . Once you add the PC membership to your cart all prices are at wholesale cost.
Real simple. There is also a link to a Free Catalog on that page.

Re: Marine Lubrication
I looked at the Amsoil site. What 20w-50 oil is everyone using? I did see a motorcyle oil, is that the one? Since I am already a preferred customer, I was seriously comparing Mobil 1 products. Thanks.

Re: Marine Lubrication
Here is the scoop on Amsoil products:
Amsoil SAE 20W-50 Synthetic High Performance Motor Oil (ARO) $7.75/qt Most similiar to M-1 15W-50 of all their products.
Amsoil Series 2000 Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oil (TRO) $9.25/qt
Similiar to M-1 V-twin BUT it has more friction reduction additives.
Amsoil SAE 60 Synthetic Racing Oil (AHR) $9.50/qt
Got a big blower or similiar set-up where fuel gets into the oil and dilutes it? This is for engines such as a Sterling Blower 1200+ HP.
Amsoil SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV) $9.10/qt
About even with M-1 V-Twin.
Amsoil discount if a dealer is 15% off I think...makes up for UPS shipping?
