I was thinking? What do you think?

When my dad had the lawn mower shop, 68-87, we sold lawn boy mowers. They were 2 strokes made by OMC. We would put about 3 or 4 in rental service for the summer. We sold OMC oil, but ran our rental fleet of of Gulf Pride 30 wt. never had an issue

So, worst case, you could run 30wt.

Way back when I had a couple 30HP Evinrude engines (not at the same time). The instructions all called for them to run 30W oil. This was back in the 60-70's) I know there are reasons for using 2 stroke oil, but in a pinch I'd bet that 30W in the same ratio would work ok.

30 weight oil in stead of tcw3 2 stroke? I would not trust that 15 miles off shore .

You would if it was all you had and a storm was coming....

Many current two-stroke outboard oils are built on a mid-viscosity base oil that would be considered around 20-weight, so 30W isn't all that different.

I will check it out later today
I know that guy on project farm does a lot of testing so I will definitely watch it.
I never thought that regular oil (30 weight) would work and your right
A storm is coming and thats all that I have. Put it in son and let's get going
But getting back. To my original post, do you think that these green nuts would stop making 2 stroke oil ?

Good question. Don't know. My take is they want all of us to go back to horse and buggy. Nothing satisfies them. They always want more.

My two stroke runs insane and I do love the smell of two stroke smoke….. BUT!!! And I’m not sure if it’s because the boat is under powered, but MAN! This thing burns gas!
Towards the end of the season my fuel sender took a crap. Actually, I’m not sure if it’s the sender so I don’t know if I’ll change it out or just feel my way around. Man…. Maybe one day I’ll own a boat that’s only a few years old. That sure would be nice.
