[font "Comic Sans MS"][red][size 4] I have been using the Lubriplate 2-Stroke oil, and have never had a problem with it. Smith & Edwards carries it.[/size][/red][/font]

I run Yamalube synthetic oil and it has worked great. You have lots of good choices.

Quicksilver is good oil...it is Mercury's brand. Any place that sells mercs will sell you quicksilver oil. I think as long as you stick with a reputable brand, you will be OK.

I run blue marble oil in my snowmobile. I get better gas mileage and hardly any smoke I'm sure it would do the same for outboards! It is awesome stuff![Wink]

I purchase it from Robertson's Marine (1045 S Main SLC). They sell it in returnable containers. I still get some smoke, but it isn't as bad as the petroleum based products.

I purchased several gallons of Blue Marble once, but I decided after having to pay for the shipping that it was too expensive.

I don't think it matters much as long as they are TCW3 compliant. But there are two things you can do to make it easier on your outboard....
Don't swap back and forth between oils. Be as consistent as you can with the oil you run.
Good oils leave less carbon build up and burn cleaner but you can make up the difference of a fair or poor oil by running a decarbonizer in your gas tank. Mercury, and OMC have thier own brands. I'm sure Yamaha and others do to. A generic that can be found at NAPA and other corner auto parts stores is the "Seafoam Deep Creep".
Oh, by the way, if you haven't decarbonized your motor for a while or never, prepare for it to smoke terribly for the first couple of trips out.
