Sale starts tomorrow.:thumbsup
Sale starts tomorrow.:thumbsup
My uncle and I switched from the West Marine brand a couple years ago. The Wal-Mart oil is so readily available for $12/gallon all day long. And TC-W3 certified so we figure why not. Glad to hear your 2.4's have held up with is for so long. Reassures me our 2.4's will do just fine.Nice! Thanks for the heads up. I even have a cabellas gift card I gotta spend!
I've been running merc/quicksilver premium plus in the 300 pro Max's. but I've ran wal mart super tech in the 2.4 for decades now.
I have customers using wally oil that run the shit out of their motors, for years.
You guys are nuts. I only run the Mercury Racing red oil in my 2.5
I think this is what you want in your XS?
My 300xs manual indicates Merc Racing oil (92-8M0078011) should be used. Confirmed by a number of top O/B mechanics too.
So despite the cost, I'm staying with it.
At least this engine doesn't burn that much of it....
Besides price, the only other thing I dislike about the Racing formulation is in raw form, it smells like a bucket of buttholes. lol
A very reliable source told me that after 2020 it's highly unlikely mercury will be building anymore two-stroke engines.The good thing about the Merc premium plus is it has an ass pile of moly in it.
When someone comes out with a 350lb 350hp fourstroke outboard ill be rejoicing right along side you. ☺ Until then I'm stuck with old junk. Anyhoo it's boating time, I think we have enough water  View attachment 551892
I'll never get rid of my cr500. Never.
I don't think I could get rid of my KX500 either. Bullheadbully talking about the 4 strokes replacing them I guess doesn't qualify the horsepower of the old 500's stock is still more than the modern high tech 4 strokes. That's why when you read write ups on various 500AF's and such so many of the younger, super talented riders come back afraid. The shear power is incredible.I'll never get rid of my cr500. Never.
