    Bulk Mercury Optimax DFI oil in Richmond?

    Anyone know a dealer in Richmond that sells DFI oil from bulk out of the drum?
    the price is getting ridiculous and my '17 250 pro xs consumes it like a drunken sailor.
    I buy it in the 3 one gallon packs from Amazon now for $109.00

    Good luck... I used to get it from Sanderson but now that Richmond marine moved in they do not sell bulk oil. I agree with you oil is getting ridiculous. I have a funny feeling it is going to get worse due to the 4 strokes.

    Check with Robert Patterson (Robbie). He is on Facebook. He was in same bldg as Sanderson, but now has his place in Hopewell.

    If I can get myself together and remember the name of his business, I will post. He may see this, as he is also here on BBC.

    I run premium plus and use Don's cocktail. Never had issues with carbon buildup. I haven't run Opti DFI oil since I got rid of my last Opti in 2007. That was an '02 std model and aggravating POS as well.

    Robbie sells it in a gallon or 2.5 gallon sealed containers.

    Thanks! Is old age a good excuse for drawing a blank?

    Best place to get oil is Sturgeon Creek Marina. They offer discount for buy by the case. Buy mine there every spring.
