Re: Synthetic or not…Oil question of the week

[George Emmanuel]

I agree on the storage issue of synthetics. I had a 9.9 1976 OMC as an auxiliary on my sailboat. I used Amsoil because the early 9.9’s when used as auxiliary’s on non-planing hulls had fouling issues and were problematic. The Amsoil made a huge difference and I never noticed any sticking because we used the boat every weekend. But there came a time when our kids were involved in High School activities that the boat would sit maybe for 2 months. It was then I started having sticking issue. It wasn’t severe, but could have been if left for longer periods of time.
