2 stroke oil

Gramas · 13 March 2014, 10:24

Having just had engine serviced the mechanic said I should be running my yamaha 90 autolube on yamahalube oil as other make are thicker and cause build up in injectors!
Is this true or can I use other makes?
What do you guys recommend?

Does he sell it?

I use TCW3 oil from where i am at the time.
TCW3

I'm sure there are more enlighten on here who will offer more info too.

He don't sell the yam oil which is why I thought I'd raise question, if he did then I'd assume it was so he could sell me it haha

That is BS especially the "injectors" bit as a Yamaha 90 Autolube has carbs not injectors.

True the Yam 90 has an oil injection system but you should have no issues as long as you use any Premium 2-stroke TC-W3 Outboard Oil

after years of using quicksilver oil, i listened to advice and now i use commercially available opus twc3 in 25litre drums and never looked back! costs me a fraction of what i was paying before.

Yes, been using it for a couple of years with my oldish Mariner 50's, no problems, all seems happy. I rang Exol up to check the stuff really was TC-W3, they happily confirmed it and sent me a copy of the spec sheet to back that up. And dirt cheap compared to the Quicksilver, etc, stuff! They don't spend any money on packaging, basically a plain plastic container with a cheapo printed label sort of attached to it, but that 's no problem, just seems to do the job

I used that brand and it was fine in my yam 40 autolube. I have since changed to a 4 stroke so have a 25 litre drum with at least 23 litres left in it which is in the for sale section if anyone is interested.

I found Silkolene 2-stroke oil good for my yam 140 V4 outboard

Locozodiac · 16 March 2014, 20:02

As long it's TCW3 rated, could be of any brand of your particular choice & budget. Not all smokes same though...

Happy Boating

I use similar through my 135 Mariner V6 early 90's. Had no issues.

neil.mccrirrick · 16 March 2014, 20:24

I use rock oil through a 140hp twatsoo all good. You can buy direct from rock oil in Warrington in 25 litre drums. Can't remember how much now but it's around £90 I think
