    Only thing i can say is if you have a tight relationship with a boat dealer or shop that works on boat motors ask them to get you a drum of oil at their cost and you will come pick it up when it comes in. You will have to have some way of loading or unloading it like a forklift. We did it years ago(4 of us went in together) and purchased a 55 gallon drum of Yamaha oil and stored it at one guys house and we kept a log on who got what so everyone would know when you reached your share. For us it was split 4 ways at 13.75 gallons each. We had to buy a pump for the drum but it was way cheaper than the $20-25 a gallon dealers wanted. We were amazed at what it cost versus what it was marked up to when you buy it off the shelf.

    I think Collins in Smithfield had bulk oil for 250 Pro XS since they started carrying Merc's.

    Quick call or trip from Clayton.

    Collins didn’t have any Mercury DFI, but did order it at a break in cost since they can get 2.5 gl containers, beats the gl ones cost.
