When it starts bogging down-then replace it-otherwise, you'll be spending lotsa $ on filters. At least once or twice a year even if no bogging down-they rust and will leak over a few months.

Also, use netting on your mater plants-that is the only way to stop the grackles and mockingbirds from eatin your maters!!!"Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security.

What you talking about Willis (Different Strokes)Originally posted by Robalo View Post
I just want to make sure I really need to put Stabil and Ring free in every tank! That will become very expensive every time I have to fill up.LIVIN THE SALT LIFE Comment

It don't take much when adding the Stabil-a bottle should last several tanks-I don't use Ring Free-figure just add a pint or maybe two of 2 stroke oil to tank-not too much-depends on tank size. But, yes add each time ya fill her up."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security.

I have a different opinion than most, but I cannot justify buying high dollar TCW-3. TCW-3 is designed to be burned up in the cylinder and exhausted, so yes there are some sales pitches and "additives" that increase performance. I agree with this somewhat, but Yamalube is no better than a lot of the cheaper oils. Its just a marketing pitch, IMO.
I have never been a pennzoil fan, so I do not buy it. Just a personal preference. I personally run Citgo Oil in the black jug, purchased at academy for around 8 dollars a gallon. I have only had my boat a year, but no problems yet. My friend has a boat that they have been running that for the past 16 years, the motor is a 1993 and its on its original powerhead, pistons, rings and jugs, great compression and zero problems associated with poor TCW-3.
Now, for an oil that is in the crank of an engine or lower unit (4 stroke oils) yes, I would buy quality oil. But something that lubricates for seconds and burns off in the cylinder, I would not get too carried away with high dollar products. Proper maintenance and servicing is much more effective and cost efficient.
This is just my opinion. I think you will be fine with just about any oil out there.
Good luck and good fishing!

WOW, I did not think I would receive this many options and suggestions. My brain is fried and I am just thinking about putting tequila in the fuel tank and a german lager in the oil tank!
Seriously, thanks for all the advice!LIVIN THE SALT LIFE Comment

I agree with MM-I use Citgo (not politically correct since Chavez runs it) and used to fill 5 gallon gas cans from my brother's shop outta the 55 gallon drum of 2 cycle. TCW-3 is a grading system and Majek is 100% correct-it burns up and goes away. I do not mix brands and "heard" that can cause some sludging/changing due to some having additives and some not, so whatever ya add, be consistent is my 2 cents.
Explorer21: Don't add tekillya to yur tank, bring it over and we'll find a use for it!!!!! I mix that with limes and grand marnier over crushed ice in a 'tini glass (chilled of course) and SALT."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security.

It is burned away ... but it's the deposits that can cause long term issues .....
Life is to short to have your boat in the shop .... treat her right and she wont leave you stranded.....I bet your not using the cheapest line or rod & reelFISH CONTROL MY BRAINComment

After much thinking and all the advice, I am going to stick with Yamalube. I know it is expensive, but so was my new rig! As for the additives, I am still trying to figure that one out. More then likely I will use the Yahama ring free product, but still thinking about that.LIVIN THE SALT LIFE Comment
