It is NMMA FC-W Certified and meets API-SL requirements, giving boat owners a marine-rated lubricant built to handle the friction, heat, and load conditions that sterndrive engines see on the water. The synthetic blend base stock resists thermal breakdown under high RPM operation, extreme temperatures, and sustained loads, helping protect internal engine components from wear during long runs and hard use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis oil delivers strong friction reduction and advanced lubrication to reduce wear on pistons, bearings, and other critical internal parts. Because sterndrive engines run at sustained high RPM and often under heavier load than automotive engines, using an oil formulated and certified for marine sterndrive service helps maintain proper lubrication and extend engine life. It is intended for use as directed in Mercruiser sterndrive engine oil change service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a single product line offered in two package sizes to match routine oil changes or larger service jobs. Both sizes contain the same 25W-40 FC-W synthetic blend formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-9440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViscosity Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25W-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e NMMA FC-W Certified, API-SL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Synthetic blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser sterndrive engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMercruiser Cross-Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92-883724K01 (Quart), 92-883725K01 (5 Quart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quart (946 ml), 5 Quart (4.7 L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp; Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Quart size for a single oil change or for topping off between services.
