Bought the wrong oil due to label confusion, so I did a little research. Maybe others can find this useful.

I never backlash, but each time I go fishing I practice fixing them, just in case I ever do really backlash.

HOOOOolllllld On There! Why so many different kinds of oil????? And what do I need for my afore mentioned 1984 90 inline 6? (6436389)
I believe that chart actually only represents three different oils, each box is the same oil just retailed or package differently. Don?
You could run the PREMIUM, but for best results, Premium PLUS would be an excellent choice.Originally Posted by Go Loco
The charts shown above reflect bottling that is available only through Mercury Dealers, Quicksilver products offered through Mercury Partners, and Quicksilver Products offered through major Retail Chains (not at all affiliated with Mercury).
Different VOLUME sizes are shown (Gallon and 2.5 Gallon).
The charts also show/reflect part numbers for OLDER bottling/labeling, in each line of product.

Just another reason I run Pennzoil Premium Plus. A lot less confusing. I don't know why Mercury would want to use so many different packages.

The gallon I got from Wal-Mart has a Part # of 8M0116274 which is not on the chart. It is labeled Advanced Premium Plus. Is that the same as Premium Plus?

Yes the same as the Premium Plus, that chart is over 4 years old so I’m sure it’s changed.

Thank you. With what these motors cost, I wanted to make sure I'm using the right stuff.

Please delete, I found my answer in another topic in this sticky. Thanks again
