I was not trying to compare gps units to engine oil. I was comparing Walmart TCW3 to Mercury brand, Valvoline, etc.

Hereis my take on it, If you have a new motor use whatthey tell you for warrantee purposes, if you have a old motor use what you want, its all TW3 , I have been using Wallfasrt & Pensoil for years, Last season I had some one give me a case of Exon and I have Used that.

I personally have had great luck with the pennzoil synthetic blend as well. It leaves a nice film behind to protect the parts for the next start-up. I know that the old JOHNSON 2 -stroke oil would completely drain off of the inside's of an engine after it sat for say 2 weeks, whereas the PENNZOIL will leave a film. That film really helps when you start an engine up after it has sat for awhile. The newer oil's are probably all about the same, but I know some of the old ones weren't that good. I lucked out and bought MERCURY oil from SAM's ealier in the year for under $13 a gallon for my MERC. I figure it's made it 12 years on MERCURY oil, why not stay with it.

Ferm, the Pennzoil you 're referring to, is that the 25% synthetic- 75% real oil? I've got a '92 150 Jonny and have been using that since I've owned it. It's not big money....nor is it cheap...so far I like how it's working. I usually add a little into the gas tank as well. Yes, I have the VRO....and I have complete trust in the reliability of the VRO system
