What Oil do I need to mix with my gas?

[massimofinance]

Hi all, wanted to find out what oil I should get to mix with the gas for my 1982 two stroke Evinrude 115HP. Also, what is the mix ratio? Also, I need to use lower octane gas, correct?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MAX

should be 50:1 for the mix and here is a link to answer or confuse you more about which oil to use...<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=038703

Thanks for the response, just so I am clear, I need to buy marine 2 stroke oil (I guess at West Marine, or similiar) to mix with the gas, low octane?<br /><br />Thx...<br /><br />MAX

Yes that's correct. Use 2-stroke oil with the TC-W3 label on the bottle like this:<br />

<br />You can get this pretty well anywhere oil is sold. Use 87 octane gas (91 RON rated petrol if outside North America). Mix at a 50:1 ratio. 1 pint of oil to 6 gallons of gas, or 20ml oil per litre of gas if you are metric.
