two cycle or 4cycle oil in 1986 evinrude 50 HP

[Procastinator]

I have a seprate oil container that mixes my oil and fuel. I am not sure if I use two cycle or another type of oil. I believe it is two cycle. However, I am not sure if all two cyle ile is the same. Such as two cycle for chain saws or outboards like mine. looking for some direction. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you. Is two cycle and TCW-3 oil the same? I was reading earlier post that suggested TCW-3.

Use a 2-cycle oil marked TCW3. You're right about other 2-cycle oils for garden equipment - it's incompatible with marine water cooled 2-cycle as it's for hot-running air-cooled engines.

Thank you so very much. You've probably saved my OB.
