I have a 50hp mercury serial #09742290, model #MER1050312NB, description ME-50ELO, MADE IN Belgium. I've been told to mix oil 6:1 in the fuel plus oil in the motor . Should I be putting oil in both or just in the motor? Also when I turn on the key I get "ONE" beep till I start the motor. Does this mean something is wrong?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Scrub

Re: Oil mix

One beep represents that the warning system is functioning. If there was NO beep you should be alarmed.<br /><br />Judging by your Model num you have a 50 hp Oil injected engine. You should not have to put oil in the gas.<br /><br />Is your oil injection Autoblend? or is it driven off the crank?<br /><br />Now about the 6:1 I kinda doubt the engine will run very good...if at all...thats a ton of oil to put through.<br /><br />TMD

Re: Oil mix

Thank you for the information. I'm not sure what you mean by auto blend. I can add oil at the top of the motor if that's what you are talking about.<br />Could you explain?<br />Thank you,<br />Scrub

Re: Oil mix

Autoblend is a seperate oil tank between the gas tank and the motor. It supposedly mixes the oil for you. From all I have read in here, mine is being disconnected today and I will mix my own in the tank at 50:1. I have a 115 inline.<br /><br />Nick
