Re: omc v4 110

Why did you have the heads pulled if the cylinder walls are perfect? I would say it is fine to use a gallon of the walmart oil, it's not as good as the merc. oil but I think it's supposed to be a decent oil in itself. Why not use the OMC (Bombardier) oil? They just reformulated the XD-25 into XD-50 and improved it alot. Good luck.

i can only say get a good quality oil do not be cheap because you will pay later when you have to rebore the block.<br />i use Yamalube 2M and it runs great and compresion is good on my rebuild 110 evi 89.<br />cheap oil will burn not as clean and will leave a lot of carbon deposits and will eventualy stick your rings and do a lot of damage.<br /><br />you diside what you put in your motor.<br />and i can only tell you my experience.<br />i'm not a mechanic but i will never put cheap oil in my motors annymore. I learned my lesson.<br /><br />reeldutch

If you cylinder walls are perfect after 3 years of use why in the world would you want to screw it up by using non marine cheap stuff?

I bought a gallon of walmart 2 cycle oil last season, is it ok to use the gallon of oil up, and then go back to the merc oil? thanks for your input guys.

Hi, Johnny110.<br /><br />If the oil you bought at Wal Mart is SuperTech, TCW-3 outboard oil it will be fine to use. If it is for air cooled 2 strokes DO NOT use it in an outboard.<br /><br />Many people judge the quality of products by their price. The selling price is usually more a function of marketing dynamics than quality.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: omc v4 110

Thats a tough question. Millions of folks use that oil all the time -- I wouldnt.<br /><br />If it were my motor I would go spend 10.00 for a gallon of good protection. One gallon used a little at a time may not hurt anything but......

Sorry...<br /><br />I mean one gallon of the Walmart oil may not hurt but you never know. I'd go buy what I know works.<br /><br />Keep an eye on me Hooty..........
