I recently went to a marina upnorth to buy a gallon of ram oil. The salesman said it was no longer available and to start using xd-50. At 30.00 a gallon as opposed to 15.00-20.00 Anybodyheard/seen anything different? Agree/disagree? Thoughts......

Re: ram injection oil replacement

Many people are getting away with running plain TC-W3 in the FICHT/DFI engines, Mr Crabbs. That includes WalMart SuperTech.<br /><br />But direct injected engines have different needs. There is no fuel carrying the lubricant into the crankcase or adding cooling to the bearings. That changes the requirements on the oil.<br /><br />For that reason I wouldn't use plain TC-W3 in a DFI engine. I would use the XD-50 or even XD-100.
