    ? about 2013 Skeeter

    I will be picking up a 2013 ZX190 with a 175 HPDI. Im coming out of a 2000 SX176 that has a yamaha 115 4 stroke. This will be my first time with a 2 stroke and I have some questions.
    1- Do I have to run the yamaha ring free. In the 115 I used Sta-bil
    2- At what RPMs will the motor get the best fuel mileage
    3- I never had to worry about water pressure. What number will I want to keep it at when running?
    Thanks... Im sure I will have some more question after I pick it up.

    Ring free and stabil are not used for same purposes, yes to using both. Not required, but highly suggested.

    Boat does good around 3,500-4,000 for mpg

    15psi min on your guage.

    Ring free and fuel stabilizer every fill up. Make sure to change your main filters and plugs every year and you will be a happy HPDI owner.
    Yamalube is dirty. I switched to Pennzoil premium plus.

    Would it be safe to mix the Pennzoil premium plus with what ever oil the last owner used. Or would I have to drain the oil out?
