Hello, I need some help with the 2 cycle oil..... I am trying to figure out what is the best to use for the motor.... I see some with 2S, 2W & 2R what is the difference? I am in the process of ordering a seloc repair manual. If anyone could help please do.. Thanks

I use the Pennzoil 100%Synthetic Outboard Motor Oil(Walmart $27/gallon), it's very good but not the cheapest. If I had just bought a 1985 70HP Yamaha and it ran fine, I'd get a couple of quarts of Yamaha Ringfree and run a tank or two with the "deposit removal" dosage, and from then on run the "deposit prevention" dosage all the time. Get some Stabil Marine and use it all the time. Install a fuel/water separater type filter(Walmart $27). That's more information than you requested, but pretty good advice, I believe. Good Luck!

great advice there...I usually run the cheap regular pennzoil oil..catch it on sale at bass pro for $10 a gallon and stock up.

I don't really know about their oils since I don't use them, just the Ringfree. Hopefully somebody here will know about the 2S, 2W and 2R designations.
