Thank You<
Our answer:
In theory, TC-W3 is TC-W3, no matter who
manufactures the oil.
Have you read the oil shoot-out article posted on the site?
( http://www.marinemechanic.com/site/page249.html )
It's always our decision to play it safe so, we use each
Engine company's brand oil. This is not an answer backed up by scientific research, but
rather, a decision to comply with what each manufacturer tells us about their product and
the recommended oil.
Sometimes the cost per quart is higher but, considering our
position... it's cheap insurance.
To answer your question... is it acceptable?
You didn't mention what size and/or year engine you have
but, in most cases... Yes, it is suppose to be acceptable. I don't know if
any other brand oil, other than the one sold by the engine
manufacturer, has been
tested with these engines, specifically. And, mixing different brands is
not recommended.
