2 cycle oil

[Senor Snagger]

I picked up a gallon of Super Tech outboard 2 cycle because it was all that was left in the shelf. I was slightly nervous but after reading this, not so much.

Two cycle oil is not used over and over for thousands of miles like an automobile engine. It flows through the engine momentarily and goes into the atmosphere. Really the old cheap oil has worked for decades in outboard engines that are water cooled. Now your air cooled weedwackers are short lived.

Sam's Club usually has 2-stroke synthetic blend Pennzoil marine for $12/gallon during the summer.  That is usually the stuff I buy for my boat I have run it in my motor since I have owned it and never had an issue.  Knock on wood! 

 

I run the super tech in our jetski and it seems to do a nice job.

All I use is super tech, never had a problem with 20 yr. old yamaha motors.
