I just bought my rig and it was partually filled with gas/oil. Well the guy I bought it from showed me the oil he uses and it is from his dealer which sells it in bulk. The color was DARK BLUE. Well I have ALOT of supertec wally world oil stored up LIGHT BLUE. Will it be ok to mix these two types of oils togethor?? It worrys me that one is DARK blue and one is LIGHT blue?? :confused:

As long as they are both TCW3 rated oils, go with it. The color is totally unimportant.

The color is just a dye so that if you forget, you can visually tell if you added oil or not.

If you mix it wrong, you may get medium blue!:p
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'd be wondering the same thing, I certainly wouldn't want to take a chance ruining my new motor....
Congratulations on the new rig. Pic?
Later,

a lot of boating stores sell it out of a 55 gallon barrel. bring your jug, fill it up. color depends on brand. but blue is usually TC-W3. should not be a problem.
