    The best answer will be Yamalube 2M but, Mercury/Quicksilver Premium Plus, Evinrude XD-50 and a few others will do well.
    When you are really very good at something you do, ever noticed how people seem to always find a way to come around to see how you do it?

    Fixed it for ya!! lol couldn't resist. Im running Penzoil and so are a lot of guys I know and they have been for a long time.


    Let the games begin!! Sorry the great oil debate really doesn't seem to have a right answer for everyone. There are a bunch of threads on this here are just a couple.

    It's a ford vs chevy or a skeeter vs the other crap kinda thing. kidding really. Enjoy the reading it's enough to make your head spin. Personally I believe in Penzoil but that's just me.

    I love these oil discussions. I think Castor 927 is the best smelling stuff out there.

    The slippery kind as long as its TCW3 rated. I prefer synthetic only because it's cleaner running and smokes less
