I just bought this 85 hp evinrude model# 85999R and was wondering what the correct fuel/oil mix is. Is regular gas ok to use? And what oil is best to use?

I am sure Walleye means any good TCW-3 outboard oil. <br /><br />Air cooled 2 strokes use an oil spec that is unsuitable for outboards.

Re: 85 hp evinrude oil mix

I used to have an Evenrude 85 on a 15' Ranger Bass Boat, I changed the lower unit oil to Amsoil synthetic, and used the 100:1 synthetic 2 cycle oil at 80:1. I picked up 300 RPM and it was the fastest 85 HP on the Lake! I ran the He*l out of that motor, WOT everywhere I went for two years and it had a lot of hours on it when I got it! Any TCW-3 2 cycle will work, but it will love the 80:1!!
