Cheaper Oil Usage??

[mak1965]

Heyya! I have a Like new Mercury 90 2 stroke OB. I purchased the Expensive Mercury Oil when I bought the boat in 7-07.. I then went on to use the Quicksilver 2 stroke Silver Bottle and that worked fine! Now that is up to $22 a gallon!

I see a Blue Bottle at Walmart that says it is TC-W3 and Nmma will this work? That is $9 a gallon! OR I also see a Pennziol Same stuff TC-W3 and NMMA the Pennzoil is $13 a Gallon and states it does NOT void the Warranty and goes on to list the motors and Mercury IS one of them! I read here last season about someone using the Blue Walmart brand,, I thonkk the name is Super tech or something similar// So Whatcha Think? Who HAS the experience of using the cheaper oil successfully! With the price of Fuel,,, Can I ? Should I ! Please help Thanks a Million! Mark

I was using the same expensive stuff last year. But this year due to high fuel & oil cost i decided to swith to the West marine brand TC-W3 & both my 250 mercs seems to run just as good on the cheap stuff, so i think you will be just fine. They had a sale on that oil last week $9.99 a gallon,so i bought 10 gal. The quicksilver stuff $29 a gal, thats just to much money for a gallon of oil when the cheap stuff works just as good.
