I am currently using Mercury Synthetic blend premium plus 2 cycle outboard oil and my motor does indeed run flawless. I had to rebuild the carb and replace the waterpump because it sat unused for 5 to 7 years. The motor has 5 tanks of gas run through it max.

My question is can I use Evinrude XD100 instead of the Merc synthetic blend? I was looking for an oil that doesn't smoke so much. Is XD100 worth the extra $$ for my powerhead? Any reccomendations from the experts as to the best oil for both my motor and one that doesn't smoke so much.
