HPM oil 

Boat owners looking for the best protection for their engines can now use Royal Purple's new line of NMMA FC-W Catalyst Compatible® multi-vis 30-weight and 40-weight, four-stroke High Performance Marine (HPM) engine oils.  

 

FC-W Catalyst Compatible® designation is given by the National Marine Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) for oils that have been tested, and have exceeded the performance requirements of bench tests for viscosity, corrosion, filter plugging, foaming and aeration.  

 

FC-W® (CAT) licensed oils must successfully pass a 100-hour general performance engine test. Currently, there are only four marine engine oils that meet this standard including Royal Purple's multi-vis 30 and 40 weight oils.    

 

Royal Purple has also introduced their new SAE 80W-90 Gear Lube to the marine product market.
