Hi guys,

What is the correct oil mixture for a 1960 Evinrude Lighttwin 3HP? On the motor it says to mix at a 24:1 ratio with SAE 30, but I have heard that with today's oil it it okay to use a 50:1 mixture. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
H&H

No. Use the 24:1 mixture with modern TCW-3 marine/outboard oil.
