for high-speed thrills on Shotover Jet Ltd. jetboats.
The tourist trade is tough service for the boats. The Chevrolet 454 cu. in.
V8-engined
jetboats are in service 365 days a year, making up to 28 high-speed river trips
a day.

oil change intervals and engine life up to 2500 hours — that’s
16 times greater oil
service life and five times greater engine life — a huge savings for
