Yahama 175 HPDI oil question

[tcc11tcc]

The prior owner gave me the oil jug he used to fill the oil. The label on front says "Quicksilver Synthetic Blend 2 cycle". I did not find this exact label at Bass Pro. I think "Quicksilver Premium Plus 2 Cycle" is the same thing. Can someone confirm that? The label text on the back labels are exactly the same. Both are TCW3 approved. I want to use the same thing he has been using.

I've heard you should always use Yamalube with Yamaha motors. I used to buy it in bulk for one of my previous boats. I assume I should not mix Yamalube with what he put in, Quicksilver? I thought I would finish the season using the same oil he used then have the dealer drain all the oil and start using Yamalube. Thoughts?

Should mix fine.

When I went away from Yamalube, I just ran the tank down as low as I was comfortable with and then poured in the Penzoil that I've been running for 2 years now.
