FAQ
Why do ship and boat engines need special oils?
Marine engines operate under significantly more demanding conditions than conventional vehicle engines. They are exposed to extreme conditions such as moisture, salt, heavy loads, and long operating times. A special marine oil therefore offers:
Corrosion protection: Moisture and salt water can quickly attack metal parts. Marine oils contain special additives that prevent rust and corrosion.
Thermal stability: Engines often run for extended periods at constant loads, making consistent lubrication and temperature regulation essential.
Deposit resistance: Marine oils reduce soot and carbon deposits that could contaminate the engine and impair its efficiency.
Optimized lubrication: Due to the often irregular speed changes, marine oils must maintain a stable viscosity even under changing loads to minimize wear.
What are the advantages of BASINOL marine oils?
BASINOL marine oils are specially developed for the requirements of outboard and inboard engines. They ensure optimal engine protection and high operational reliability under demanding conditions. The benefits include:
Excellent lubrication performance: Our marine oils form a stable oil film that optimally protects the engine even under heavy loads.
Effective corrosion protection: Special additives protect the engine even during intensive use in salty environments.
Extended oil change intervals: The high oxidation resistance of our oils helps ensure they remain efficient over a longer period of time.
Special additives: Our marine oils contain cleaning and protective additives that minimize deposits and ensure consistent performance.
How often should the engine oil be changed in boat engines?
Marine oil change intervals vary depending on the engine type, frequency of use, and manufacturer’s specifications. Generally speaking, the following applies:
Recreational and sport boats: An oil change is required at least once per season or after 50 to 100 hours of operation.
Professional and commercial vessels: Due to intensive use, an oil change may be necessary after just 100 to 250 hours of operation, depending on the engine load.
Long-distance and high-performance engines: These require regular oil level checks and, if necessary, oil changes at shorter intervals.
Regular checks of the oil level and oil quality are essential to protect the engine from wear and damage in the long term. An early oil change can also help avoid unplanned repairs and extend the engine’s lifespan.
