Stringent emissions regulations throughout North America and an industry-wide reduction in 2-cycle oil consumption motivated Shell Canada to launch Nautilus FC-W Four-Cycle 10W-30 Outboard Marine Oil. The formulation provides protection against corrosion and cam wear and offers excellent salt-water resistance. Most importantly, the Nautilus product meets and exceeds the latest National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) FC-W specifications. "We are the first integrated petroleum company in Canada to market an FC-W specification engine oil for outboard leisure marine watercraft," said Lenore Indarsingh, Category Manager, Shell Canada Products. "From fishing to water sports to cruising, the Shell Nautilus FC-W marine oil responds to the needs of today's outboard engines while providing boaters peace of mind." Nautilus Marine Oils are a family of two-cycle and four-cycle outboard engine oils that protect against corrosion even in severe salt-water environments. The formulations go beyond the latest TC-W3 and FC-W performance standards issued by the NMMA to improve outboard engine life. Nautilus is designed to meet all outboard engine manufacturers' performance requirements for pre-mix, direct oil injection, and newer generation direct injection two-cycle engines. Nautilus Marine Oils' including the FC-W Four-Cycle Outboard 10W-30 Engine Oil are available at Shell authorized distributors and Canadian Tire. "The launch of the FC-W marine oil is a significant step forward for the Nautilus brand as Shell continues to innovate and improve lubricants for the leisure marine oil sector in Canada," said Indarsingh. Shell Canada Limited is one of the largest integrated petroleum companies in Canada producing natural gas, natural gas liquids and bitumen.
