Not a fan Lee? What do you recommend?
I can't find that online
Jay Smith did and still does build a LOT of motors.. I talked with him several times when getting some machine work done.
He was a staunch supporter of using Pennzoil Synthetic. But that was in motors that were turning a lot more RPM's .and were torn down on a regular basis..
I used it for years with no issues. Come to think of it--I've blown my share of motors but none were oil related....
However I have ran nothing but Merc Premium plus in these last two 300XS motors.
Good or bad I believe Merc puts the additives in that the feel is warranted for longer life..
Since I have a steel sleeve motor and not nic sleeves I was told snythetic blend pennzoil was the way to go! I've had 2 issues one was running klotz a little lean. Thousands of dollars later and my motor is running incredibley FINALLY!! If anyone specially Lee recommends a different oil I will make he switch, as I can't handle another failure especially if it's due to the oil I'm running.
Lee recommended Mercury Premium Plus only for my 2004 250xs

What was your issue with klotz?

I was mixing a little to light, nothing more than my fault. I only switched to pennzoil because of a couple highly regarded merc mechanics. Lee was not 1 of them though.
I agree with the last two sentences other than Optimax or DFI oil is a great choice also.Jay Smith did and still does build a LOT of motors.. I talked with him several times when getting some machine work done.

There has been so many discussions on oil on different forums, I'm not going there.
I will say that I'm a strong believer in staying with which ever manufacture your engine is as far as oil is concerned in regular consumer engines. They are the ones that stand behind the warranty and are much more likely not to cut corners.
2-troke oil only has to pass the BIA Certification one time to be called Premium Plus or what ever, cheaper oils are cutting corners some where in my opinion.
As far as race engines, Klotz is all I use personally, never have had a failure due to oil issues.
You forgot "Mercury Premium Plus".
Oops... Sorry lol. Fixed it.You forgot "Mercury Premium Plus".
