I haven't been able to locate this oil locally and have ordered it online 2 times from different places. Each time they are sending premium plus 2 cycle but it is labeled synthetic blend. When I recheck online I am ordering the correct item. I have never used synthetic oil with this motor (Mercury XR6). Is there synthetic and non synthetic oil or am I ok using the synthetic blend?
Premium Plus IS a synthetic blend. Any Mercury Marine dealer will have it, possibly in bulk. You bring your container and save a few bucks.

Premium Plus has ALWAYS been a synthetic blend. There is a Premuim oil that is straight dino oil (I think). Also, Quicksilver and Mercury brands are EXACTLY the same. Pennzoil and Citgo make a Premium Plus also but it is different.

If it's green and smells like kerosene it Premium Plus. It is a blend, haven't had any trouble with it keeping the iron sleeves in my XR4 rust free. Don't use full synthetic if you have iron or steel sleeves.
well I was under the impression that opti oil was full synthetic and optis have steel sleeves but ive been wrong before

Mercury/Quicksilver DFI is a synthetic blend too.
