Sportjet 120 XR 2 type of oil

[scanner ino]

Hi guys,

Yesterday I fired up my completely rebuilt Sportjet 120 XR 2. The manual says that I should use a Quicksilver premium plus TW-C3 oil or TW-C2 oil. Since I thought no one sells this type of oil in the Netherlands I bought Eurol TW-C3, this is a mineral oil.
But today I found a Quicksilver oil dealer in the Netherlands who told me that the recommended me to use the Quicksilver oil in favor of the Eurol oil. The Quicksilver oil is a semi-synthetic and the Eurol is a minaral....

Can I switch without problems to the Quicksilver oil, and is this type of oil realy better?

You should not have any issues in switching from mineral to semi-synthetic. Is the semi-synthetic better? There's a lot of opinions on that subject, synthetic or semi-synthetic compared to mineral based oils. I think as long as it is marine rated TW-C3, you should be fine.

Okay but is it allowed to mix the because its almost impossible to switch without mixing them on some point togheter...

Some oils will seperate if left alone for a while(months and months).You can mix them.
TCW-3 of any kind is ok.It's made to specs and must meet minimum requirements for ash.
I'd use the quicksilver if I had it.
