I just purchased a new to me boat with a 2015 Mercury 200 Pro XS serial # 2B119897 The previous owner said that he was using Optimax oil and I was wondering if that is the correct oil. Also is this a 2.5 motor or a 3.0 He also said that the spark plugs that he would use were NGK-IZFR6J . Thanks in advance.
Check out the FAQ pinned above.
Your ProXS is a 3L and the recommended oil is DFI. Here are some relevant topics from the FAQ (there are many more)...
Oil, Battery, Spark Plugs, Fuel and Fuel Additive Recommendations
