Which type of 2 stroke oil?

[Jetty Rocker]

My rule of thumb is to use a manufacturers oil. These guys know that they have to warranty their motors so they have a better quality oil. The Walmart in my town has the Quicksilver and the Evinrude xd-25 for @ $22/gal. We've always referred to Penzoil as "yellow death". The last advice that I have is that if you are still using the VRO, premix a little oil in your gas as insurance.

I have 15+ gallons that I've collected from blown engines that I've parted out . . . Should be enough to get me started this year :) I haven't had to buy oil for the last 3 years.

Remember the scene from "The World According to Garp" where Robin Williams is a prospective buyer looking at a home? As he is looking at it with the real estate agent a small plane crashes into the house. His response is, " It's pre-disastered, I'll take it!".

Can I buy 5 gallons of that oil BS?

My local dealer has bulk oil for $8/gal.....BYOB (bring your own bottle).

$22 gal for xd-25 is crazy.

Back when I was still 2-strokin', I saved a couple of gal-sized oil bottles...took them to my dealer and he filled them from his 55 gal drum at a huge discount
