    Oil Change

    S/N 3B099812 250 Pro XS
    Im close to 20 hours on my new motor and going to change it. Question is local dealer has bulk Mercury 10w30 mineral oil very reasonable.
    Does not stock the semi-synthetic. Another place close has quicksilver semi synthetic. Is the mineral oil good to run, or should I buy the quicksilver?

    I'd stick to the recommended oil, Mercury or Quicksilver semi-synthetic 10w-30.

    The semi synthetic 10w-30 is very hard to find. My local dealer uses regular 10w-30 so that's what they sold me.

    10w30 Synthetic BLEND (Mercury OR Quicksilver is perfectly fine).

    Any NMMA FC-W 10W 30 will be just fine. However, I'd stick to the Merc oils as stated above.
