I would actually stear youy away from the PENNSOIL XLF, been alot of reports of people running it and having excess smoke from all of the detergents it has in it. With oil injection I would run a better oil than just the cheapest you can get. If you can find it, SUZUKI has an EXCELLENT 2 stroke oil for oil injected engines.

Maybe that's why it blew up...I would like to think that :bat:

PENNSOIL synthetic blend is good oil, but the newer XLF has been linked to aalot of carbon deposits on the prop hubs and black oil running out of the prop from running it.

WalFart Supertech brand, 10 bucks a gallon, 50:1 premix. The pleasing aroma is half the reason I use it.

I have about 10 gal right now, i buy 1 or 2 everytime i go to wallyworld thru the winter, by the time summer comes i have all i need for the season. I hate having to go get some at the last min!!

"thanks for the responses so far. I am still using the VRO injection. And motor is 1986 so no worries about warranties there. "

If it was mine, i'd find out what the previous owner has been running & continue that. 23 years on a VRO is a pretty good endorsement. most on here will tell you that hand grenade should have gone off 15 or 20 years ago...

BassPro usually runs a special in the spring that has the Penzoil Synthetic blend for $11.00 a gallon. Plan ahead and buy it on sale and it's the same price as Wally World oil.

I have used it for the last 3 years with no issues and I agree with Ferm it seems to smoke less than the other stuff.

penzoil synthetic here too.....and 17 years on my VRO

Ferm,
I am at a lost I am currently using Pennsoil XLF, Question is there another ? Please let me know exactly which one I need to switch to, you are right this one smokes a lot !

Run the regular PENNZOIL premium plus synthetic blend. They both cost the same, but the premium plus seems to burn alot cleaner than the XLF from reports I have read. I have only run the premium plus and QUIKSILVER in my current EVINRUDE, and can attest that the PENNZOIL is ALOT cleaner running.
