AMSOIL HP Marine Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil delivers deposit-free, low-smoke protection for modern direct fuel injection outboard motors and conventional 2-stroke marine engines alike. Whether you run it through an oil injection system or mix it at 50:1, this is a purpose-built synthetic formulation designed to handle the demands of today's leaner, hotter-running outboard powerheads.

Modern two-stroke outboard motors burn leaner than their predecessors. Direct fuel injection systems from Evinrude E-TEC, Mercury Optimax, and Yamaha HPDI squeeze more power out of every drop of fuel, but that efficiency comes at a cost. Less oil reaches critical surfaces, and what does get there has to work harder in a hotter combustion environment. Carbon deposits, ring sticking, and piston scuffing become real threats, especially during extended full-throttle runs or all-day trolling in a rental fleet.

PROVEN WEAR PROTECTION IN LEAN-MIX OPERATION
HP Marine's synthetic base oils deliver film strength that holds up where conventional TC-W3 oils break down. In a full-season field test using a 40-hp Evinrude E-TEC outboard set to its factory-lean oil ratio, HP Marine prevented piston ring sticking and piston scuffing entirely. The motor was operated by a northern Minnesota fishing outfitter under rental-fleet conditions, which is about as punishing a duty cycle as a 2-stroke outboard will ever see. The TC-W3 Lubricity Test (ASTM D4863) result confirms the oil's ability to maintain a protective film under boundary lubrication conditions.

MAXDOSE ADDITIVE SYSTEM FOR CLEAN POWERHEADS
Exhaust port deposits restrict flow and rob power. Carbon buildup behind piston rings (ring jacking) forces rings outward and accelerates bore wear. HP Marine is formulated with MAXDOSE, a concentrated additive package that virtually eliminated exhaust port deposits and prevented ring jacking in field testing. For boaters running Mercury Optimax DFI or Evinrude E-TEC engines, this kind of deposit control directly translates to consistent power output and longer intervals between top-end service.

LOW SMOKE AND LOW AQUATIC TOXICITY
The synthetic formulation burns cleaner than petroleum-based TC-W3 oils, producing noticeably less exhaust smoke and odor. HP Marine passes the JASO M 342-92 Smoke Test at the FD level, the highest smoke rating in the JASO classification system. It also achieved a 100% survival rate in both the OECD Guideline 203 Fish Acute Toxicity Test and the OECD Guideline 202 Daphnia Acute Immobilization Test. If you spend your days on freshwater lakes or coastal fisheries, that matters to the water you're floating on.

COLD-WEATHER PERFORMANCE
HP Marine pours at -55°C (-67°F) and records a Brookfield viscosity of 13,696 cP at -40°C. For early-season launches in cold climates or high-altitude lake fishing where morning temperatures hover near freezing, the oil flows freely through injection systems and mixes readily in pre-mix applications without pooling or separation.

SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
HP Marine meets NMMA TC-W3 certification requirements, including the TC-W3 Rust Test. It is suitable for use in all two-stroke marine applications specifying TC-W3 oil, including engines from Johnson/Evinrude, Mercury EFI and Optimax, Yamaha, Yamaha HPDI, Nissan, Tohatsu TLDI, Suzuki, Mariner, and Force. Compatible with other mineral and synthetic TC-W3 oils, though mixing should be minimized. Use as an injection oil or at a 50:1 pre-mix ratio (2.6 oz. per U.S. gallon of gasoline). HP Marine is Warranty Secure, keeping your factory warranty intact.

FAQs

What engines and equipment is AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil designed for?

AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil (HPMQT) is designed for a wide range of 2-stroke applications including marine outboard engines, PWC (personal watercraft), snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and other powersports equipment. It is specifically noted as excellent for Evinrude E-TEC engines at the factory-lean setting. It delivers superior performance as both an injection oil and at a 50:1 pre-mix ratio.

How does AMSOIL HP Marine 2-Stroke Oil protect against engine wear during lean-mix operation?

AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil features an exclusive synthetic formulation that provides increased lubricity to fight piston and cylinder wear, even during lean-mix operation. It prevents piston ring sticking and piston scuffing, which helps maintain maximum power output and extend engine life. This makes it particularly well-suited for direct-injection engines like the Evinrude E-TEC that run at factory-lean fuel-to-oil settings.

What is the MAXDOSE additive system in AMSOIL HP Marine 2-Stroke Oil?

MAXDOSE is AMSOIL's proprietary system of advanced additives built into HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil that delivers what AMSOIL describes as 'super-clean' operation. This additive system uses potent detergents to help prevent piston-ring and exhaust-port deposits, even during high-stress, all-day operation. The result is reliable, efficient engine performance and extended engine life by keeping critical components free of harmful buildup.

How does AMSOIL HP Marine 2-Stroke Oil compare to Mercury Optimax DFI oil?

Verified customers have noted that AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil is approximately half the price of Mercury Optimax DFI oil while delivering excellent performance. Users also report better product availability compared to the Mercury product, with fast shipping. Owners of engines like the Yamaha 250 HPDI and various Evinrude E-TEC models have reported minimal carbon buildup, minimal smoke, and clean spark plugs after switching to AMSOIL HP Marine.

Can AMSOIL HP Marine 2-Stroke Oil be used as both injection oil and pre-mix?

Yes, AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil delivers superior performance as both an injection oil in oil-injected 2-stroke engines and at a 50:1 pre-mix ratio for carbureted or older 2-stroke engines. Verified users have confirmed excellent results in both pre-mix applications on older outboards and injection systems on modern direct-injection engines like the Evinrude E-TEC.

Is AMSOIL HP Marine 2-Stroke Oil safe for the environment and waterways?

AMSOIL HP Marine 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil is formulated with low aquatic toxicity, making it a more environmentally conscious choice for marine use. It also features a low-smoke, low-odor formulation that reduces exhaust emissions on the water. Additionally, it provides built-in rust protection to safeguard engine internals against corrosion from moisture exposure common in marine environments.
