One of the REQUIREMENTS of this ultra-sophisticated piece of American ingenuity is its NMMA-certified FCW SAE 25W-40 motor oil. Of COURSE we couldn't just have a super-sophisticated new outboard motor that ran on just any old 4-stroke oil, like SAE SJ from Autozone. Oh, NO! We have to invent a whole new line of ultra-profitable, very limited availability motor oils you can only get at....guess where.....Your MERCURY dealer! Federal law provides that if they specify a BRAND of motor oil, they have to GIVE it to you for the life of the engine..... So, through the loophole, we invent a new motor oil of stupid miltiple viscosity and threaten to void your warranty, I'm sure, if you use SJ 15W-40 from Autozone. Don't suppose I'll be buying a Verado outboard.....or a Ficht....or an OptiMax....any time soon. Stupid manufacturers still haven't learned their lessons...... Search Google for "NMMA-certified FCW SAE 25W-40" and look at all 4 hits it gets on the whole internet.....all Mercury, of course. Wanna bet it's NOT $6/gallon? The damned thing holds EIGHT quarts of it! The price of oil is not relevant to the owner of a new, $15,000 four stroke outboard motor. I won't argue the point that all modern high horsepower outboards are too complex. Oh, I found 50 hits for that weight of oil, and the Merc branded oil at $3.25 a quart: https://www.dougrussell.com/Products...y=7&Bran d=87 So is this just a standard Krause lie against Larry??? yet another Krause doesn't like because Larry called him for the liar he is:-) or maybe it falls in the obvious deception class of his spammer mate Gould??? or I wonder if Krause is just such an uneducated simpleton he can't even read & understand the point Larry was making??? Hmmmmm...... beg your pardon sorry I didn't hear you.........OH OK OK I agree with you, it's all 3!!:-) Let's see he claims 50 hits in google for that "weight" of oil:-) but of course he left out the NMMA certification which was exactly Larry's good & valid point. That it's a dealer scam & ripoff. Then of course he pretends "he" can find dealer oil cheap when the last bloke who tried finding anything at a marine dealer "cheap" recently died still trying, no doubt Gould watched his funeral on the telly last night:-) (true; that's what they spend most of their time praying for:-)) As Larry says Wanna bet it's NOT $6/gallon? or I suppose the lying union organiser idiot thug Krause wouldn't know the difference between a quart & a gallon anyway:-) Ah I love the way socialist liars flare up & go poof in a cloud of acrid smoke when you turn the gas up:-) Too much fun it really is:-) but hey thanks!!! K Been busy today so I'll keep the Krause lie of the day short. This lying simpleton, after it became clear he was losing a thread where he was displaying his usual lack of patriotism much less gratitude for the brave men & women out there risking their everything, to keep the likes of him safe, he just reverts to type. But seriously can you imagine this uneducated union thug now claims he is reviewing universities!!! & wait for it he poo poos the engineering course!!! this from a lying uneducated union thug who couldn't use a toaster without a union authorised electrician in attendance. I've included just one of the followup responses but it was such a bald faced lie it even embarrassed the rejoinders:-) I have visited West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and the sub training facility at Groton. Some years ago, I actually did look over descriptions of some of the course material at Annapolis and the c.v.'s of some of the faculty. I'm sure the engineering course material is fairly rigorous, though it is more "trade-oriented" and did not look up to MIT or CalTech standards. I mean, if your goal is to be an aeronautical engineer, you're going to get better training at MIT or CalTech or at any of a large number of other engineering schools. I thought the faculty academic credentials no better than what is found at a typical smaller four year public university. The military academies turn out military officers with an education, not highly educated military officers. But that is their purpose, eh? -- Holy molly, grandma, put on your high boots. Harry Krause, admitted graduate in the humanities with a degree in English is hereby qualified to critique the engineering curriculum of not only West Point, but also that of the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy and compare it to that of MIT and CalTech. The above paragraph is a classic. You missed your calling Harry. |
