And at the core of this maintenance regime? The use of synthetic oil.
Unveiling the 2023 Mercury* 100 EFI
Imagine this: You’re out on the water, the breeze in your hair, the sun on your face, and beneath you, the 2023 Mercury* 100 EFI purring like a satisfied cat. This isn’t just any engine; it’s a marvel of modern engineering.

The Heart of the Beast: Engine Specifications
Dive deeper, and you’ll find its heart beats with an efficiency that’s hard to match. The wet sump lubrication system, for instance, craves the best; in this case, AMSOIL 10W-30 100% Synthetic Marine Engine Oil, boasting a capacity of 5.5 quarts. Designed for optimal performance, the engine comes in two shaft lengths: 20″ / 508 mm or 25″ / 635 mm, with a gearcase ratio of 2.07:1. The bore and stroke? A harmonious 3.5 x 3.2 inches. And don’t forget the cooling system—water-cooled with a thermostat, ensuring your engine runs smoothly, with the added perks of F-N-R gears, Power Tilt, and Power Trim.

Now, let’s talk about keeping this heart healthy. Unleaded fuel is the way to go, especially when combined with AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer. But the real MVP? AMSOIL 10W-30 100% Synthetic Marine Engine Oil. For the gearbox, don’t even think about anything less than AMSOIL 75W-90 100% Synthetic Marine Gear Lube.
