Though there are some minor formulation differences, there are also price
and *marketing* differences. In other words it's at least 1/2 hooey. Yes, you'll get a premium oil if you buy Merc or OMC oil - but there is stuff just as good out there for 1/2 the money - if you investigate. Use any good name (ashless) NMMA rated TCW-3 oil - mixed at 50/1 or in your auto-mix system. Now for the best "bang for the buck", I prefer "Pennzoil Premium Synthetic Blend", available here at Walmart for under $10 a gallon. -W "vtv001" wrote in message ... Does anyone know what company makes evinrude 2+4 or what is a good substitute? Also, what is the difference between evinrude 2 stroke oil, quicksilver premium and quicksilver premium plus. is there a preferred oil for 115hp 1990 evinrude, besides the mother brand name? Thanks, Tony |

This was the precise reason for the question... I can get quicksilver
premium for $10, while Johnson is $15. I have not looked the price for quicksilver premium plus.

BTW, Clams is correct. Any good name brand is sufficient, although the latest Merc Optis are supposed to use some superpremium oil formulated for Merc. I've not bothered to find out why, since I don't own one. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |
