If I am not mistaken..I think the oil for personal water crafts is a different oil.. not for outboards....outboard oil has to be TW-C3 classified for outboards....

I' hate to make a huge mistake,I really wanted to go synthetic for it's cleaning and sealing propertie's,too bad.

they make synthetic outboard oil......Pennsoil and also Evinrude X-50....they have a blend also....by Pennsoil.....I my self run the Evinrude X-50..it has a de carb agent in it and my motor runs nice with it..no smoke or smell

Mercury makes a synthetic too..and Yamaha does also..they are all good oils.....just know that they dont come cheap..but to me its worth the price if my motor runs this good...and stays clean

Shell owns Pennzoil. They make several TC-W3 rated Shell Nautilus products but recommend the Hi Per for high performance use. http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GPCDOC_TDS_Nautilus_Biodegradable_Outboard.pdf

TC-W3 is for Two Cycle Water cooled outboards, not four strokes.
