I strongly suspect the biggest difference is the lable. FWIW I
maintained racebikes for many years. We used Amsoil because rings &
pistons lasted 3-5x longer and bearings indefinately. Naturally YMMV.

After 20 years of running outboards in the tour boat business, we have never
lost an engine due to failure from the tcw 3 oils we have been using, and we
been using the cheapest. Usually penzoil

If you use a good oil like Ams/Oil it won't make any
difference and you will get great performance to boot

They are not interchangable because outboard oil is
specifically
designed for engines that run MUCH cooler.


Yeah, a delta T of what...30 degrees ambient? I'm not sure
I buy
that....

I've never done any analysis of the difference(s).....but
surprise me.
