    Quick silver synthetic blend, I have ran it in it since new................Premium Plus is great stuff kind of pricy as all oils are. The thing I ran into with the Premium Plus is trying to find it if you fish allot of tournaments.........I know plan ahead, but Quick Silver synthetic blend is everywhere from autozone to walmart. Premium Plus you have to find a Dealer. That being said Quick silver and Mercury oil are one in the same I do believe. Correct me if I am wrong but don't the same company own both So my Two cents is availablity, plus good product!

    Re: Motor Oil (Yellow21xdc)

    Is there a difference between the Quick silver Premium plus verses the Mercury Premium plus? I know Academy carries the Quick silver Premium Plus...

    Re: Motor Oil (mbrien)

    When in doubt, compare the part numbers.

    Same part number= Same oil.

    Quicksilver has a "Q" in the number, and Mercury has a "K" in the part number.

    All the digits are the same......
