Re: what is best 2 stroke oil
Ok guys, The older engines work great with the oils on market but for people buying 2009 motors check this out. New this year. The PY2009 Mercury Outboard Retail Promotional Warranty is "Conditional". which means you must adhere to the recommended service intervals and maintenance recommendations as stated in the Mercury Owners Manual. Service must be completed by a Mercury Authorized dealer and any parts replaced will require the usage of genuine Mercury parts,oils & lubes.You can do your own service, but you must keep records and then have that service verified by a certified Mercury dealer who will log it into MercNET. This is post from Mercurys website below.

Maintaining Your Engine
Proper engine maintenance is essential to ensuring your outboard engine will provide you with years of trouble-free operation. Mercury Authorized Dealers have the expertise and training to handle all of your engine maintenance service and needs.
In accordance with the maintenance guidelines outlined in our new promotional warranty (5 & Drive Sales Event) and the engine owner?s manual, failure to properly maintain the engine may result in a denied warranty claim.
Should you choose to perform the required engine maintenance work, you must work with your local Mercury Authorized Dealer to ensure the maintenance has been performed and the correct parts installed. The authorized dealer will then log the information into the Mercury Dealer Engine Service log on the Mercury on-line dealer system (MercNET).
Please also keep your receipts and compile a maintenance log for your records. This practice not only helps you keep track of the maintenance done on your engine, but also helps instill confidence with potential buyers or dealers when it comes time to sell or trade in your engine.
