Is there any particular brand you prefer over another?

No. Sometimes Pennzoil synthetic blend.

I usually end up with the quicksilver oil because I live in a small town that doesnt even have a walmart so the store that does have oil only carries the Mercury oil.

Its all the same if its all TC-W3

I prefer Walmart's SuperTech TC-W3 for petro-oil, Pennzoil synthetic if I want to spend more money.

I've been running my 1985 Yamaha 115 hp 2 stroke since it was new on SuperTech TC-W3 oil.

I also run it in my Sea Doo--since 1990 and it still runs good. Last time I pulled the head off the PWC, it was clean as a whistle.

And the oil is relatively cheap.

It would be very difficult to tell which is the best oil for normal everday use because nobody reports problems with any oils. Not that there aren't differences, it's just that for normal use it would take a very long time for them to show up. Most motors die for reasons other than poor oil, it's more likely from no oil, no gas, or no water.

Hi,

Oil is oil unless you buy a bulk brand, their just not filtered as good as other named brands when manufactured. Any TC-W3 oil will work good.
