Good products. Not crazy about their marketing/sales structure. I think Mobil 1 products are just as good and more readily available.

They make good products and the price is not unreasonable for what they offer...

I think their 2 stroke oils have good merit.

Does anyone know the specs on Volvo/Penta Oil FIlters? My marine did an oil change for me and used those instead of the HP Frmas I had provided.

From what I've read the Frams aren't very highly rated anyway--thoguhts/comments?

I'm going to change to M-1's this week as soon as I get up the gumption to lay over the engines for an hour or two.

I cannot speak for there 4 stroke oils, but as an 2-stroke engine builder, I can say it is one of the worst oils I have seen.
You can ask almost world class engine guy and you WILL get the same response.
Blue bearings and worn cylinder walls and rings. It is OK..... in a 200 hp motor that turns low ( sub 6000 ) rpm. But if you are building real power ( which requires RPM ) the stuff doesn't cut it.
Look too Redline, Klotz, or my favorite Alisyn.
