The Best Oil for My Outboard: Mercury 2 Stroke Oil

domo-online blog 2 11-10-14I once used to fill my outboard with whatever cheap oil was available and positioned in front of my face. After about a year of doing this, my new boat ran like it’d been sitting in a boat yard collecting moss for ten years. The motor would smoke and cough. I knew my cheap ways had gotten me into a deep hole of engine trouble.

That’s when I switched to Mercury 2 stroke oil. I had my engine cleaned and overhauled so I could start from scratch and use the right product to protect my engine. Now when I venture out into the Sound, I’m not worried about being stranded due to engine failure. Now I’m confident in my engine’s performance.

Mercury Engine Oil Keeps My Mercury Motors Running Efficiently

domo online blog 3 11-03-14You can’t easily get away with using a different grade of oil without experiencing serious problems as a result. When you have a motor that is made by a specific company that makes a lot of other boating equipment, it is much more important that you use the right oil. The right oil is made to make these motors operate well.

For example when I bought a Mercury outboard motor, I knew that I would not be able to use just any old oil. To make sure that the motor ran as efficiently and expertly as it was intended, I had to make sure that I used the Mercury engine oil that actually went with it. Only this type of oil could ensure that my motor kept working the way that it was intended to.

Mercury Oil is a Big Part of Keeping a Motor Running Well

When I owned a boat when I was far younger, I wasn’t thinking much further ahead than my next fishing trip. I know that there were times that I went out with my boat where the motor didn’t have very much oil in with the gasoline making sure that all of the parts stayed lubricated. When I did have the right amount of oil, it was always the cheapest type.

At the time, I thought that I was being thrifty and saving money in the long run. Then of course my motor started having problems and eventually it needed to be replaced. A new motor cost me a lot more than regularly buying plenty of Mercury oil would have in the long run. I learned my lesson though. Now I only use good quality oil and use the right amount of it.

Some Mercury Outboard Oil for a Trip Around the Island

domo online blog 2 10-06-14One of my friends has a house that is on an island out in the bay. He uses the house mostly as a summer vacation home, but on nice weekends he goes out to the house during the fall and spring as well. He loves being able to be close to the water where he can take his boat out and look for some of the sea creatures that live along the coast and in the deeper water.

Last weekend, he and I went out to his vacation home so that we could take his boat out. The weather was really nice and many of the weather stations were reporting that it would be the last good weekend of the year. We got his boat ready by feeding it some gasoline and some Mercury outboard oil. Once it was ready we zipped around the island enjoying the sights.

Deciding to Use Mercury Premium Plus with the Boat Motor

My father has always been very particular about what kind of oil goes into his boat motors. He is careful to make sure that all of the boat motors that he owns use the type of oil that is actually best for their operation. Since he has a couple of different motors on the different boats that he uses, he has a few different types of oil that he uses regularly in the different motors.

In one of his newest motors, he has decided to start using Mercury premium plus oil. He did a lot of research on the motor and the kind of oil that it would need before deciding on a brand and type of oil to use. This is the type of oil that a lot of people that he has asked about the motor have recommended. So far he has enjoyed the way that the motor runs with it.

Adding Mercury 2 Cycle Oil Before Heading to the Boat Launch

domo online blog 3 9-22-14When one of my friends bought a new boat motor from someone online, he asked me to come with him when he took it out with his boat for the first time. I agreed because I wanted to see how the motor ran since he had gotten a really good deal on it. We decided that we were going to take the boat on a lake close to his house to give the motor a good trial run.

Before heading to the boat launch, we made sure that the motor was filled with gasoline and Mercury 2 cycle oil. We were nervous before we first started up the engine, but the engine started perfectly and sounded great. We cruised around the lake with the outboard motor without experiencing any problems with it. It seems that my friend got a great deal on an excellent boat motor.

Mercury Optimax is Mercury 2 Stroke Oil Specifically Made to Run Cleaner

domo online blog 2 9-08-14When it comes to running a two stroke motor in the cleanest way possible, it takes a special kind of oil. Not every type of oil works in a way to keep carbon from building up on the parts of an outboard motor. The best type of oil for this job is oil that is synthetic and made by the same people who made your outboard motor. They know the needs of the motor best.

For Mercury Optimax motors, the right kind of oil is Optimax oil that is made for these motors. This is Mercury 2 stroke oil that is synthetic. It runs very cleanly and efficiently, minimizing carbon build up inside of an engine. Using this oil for the outboard motors that are Mercury Optimax motors will make it so that these motors run well for a long period of time.

Mercury Engine Oil to Give an Old Boat New Life

domo online blog 3 9-02-14Since it was a long weekend, I spent a good chunk of my time working an old boat that one of my friends bought and wants to have repaired by next summer. I told him that I would help him when he first purchased the boat, but I hadn’t been able to get time to help him until last weekend. Last weekend, our focus was mainly on cleaning everything up.

The first thing that we did was pressure wash the entire boat to get all of the grime that had built up on it over the last several years to come off. It took a long time to work all of the scum that had collected on it off of the boat. After that we emptied all of the gasoline and oil out of the boat. Eventually, we’ll replace the oil with Mercury engine oil when the boat is actually ready to go out on the water.

Using Some 2 Cycle Mercury Oil in My Cousin’s Outboard Motor

domo online blog 2 8-18-14My cousin has had an outboard motor that has always run a little bit oddly. The motor doesn’t really work too well and has always had problems starting up. My cousin finally took it in to be fixed a couple of weeks ago. The person who worked on the motor suggested that now that it was fixed and running alright again, he should try to take better care of it.

My cousin decided that the best way to make sure that his outboard motor was well taken care of was to use high quality 2 cycle Mercury oil in the motor instead of using the cheaper oil that he had been using. He even found some places where he could buy it in bulk so that he could get the oil that he really needed at a cost that was actually a lot more affordable.

Helping with the Mercury Outboard Oil at the Marina

domo online blog 1 8-04-14Yesterday, I received a call from one of my friends asking for help with his boat. Since he only got the boat last year, I was sure that he was confused about some part of regular boating maintenance so I went to the Marina to help him out. I was thinking that he would need my help determining how to open some part of his outboard engine or something like that.

It turned out that the only problem was that he didn’t know what kind of outboard oil was the right kind for his boat. He was stuck in the marina store reading the labels of a bunch of different types of oil. I was able to show him the Mercury outboard oil that was right for his boat. I am fairly certain that I could have given him the same type of help over the phone.

High Performing Mercury Premium Plus

domo online blog 4 7-21-14Usually, I am a little bit wary when it comes to certain brands claiming to be better than other brands. For example, I used to watch the same gasoline truck go to gas stations across the street from each other, one claiming to sell a generic and the other a name brand. Whenever I choose a name brand, it is because I have seen a difference with my own eyes.

For example, I have seen how my friend’s boat runs when it has Mercury Premium Plus oil and how it runs with something more generic. The engine seems to run a lot better in rough conditions when he sticks to the name brand oil. Having seen this difference, I would definitely use the premium oil when I was running a boat that was like the one that my friend has.

Taking Some Mercury 2 Cycle Oil Out to the Lake with Me

domo online blog 3 7-21-14Most of the time, I prefer to prepare my boat for launch long before I get it to the edge of the water. This is mostly because the process of mixing oil and gasoline for my two cycle outboard motor is a process I’d rather do away from the water. I don’t want to be contaminating a lake that I am going to fish in if any of the oil or gasoline drips while I am getting my boat ready.

Last weekend, I ended up having to add the oil next to the lake because I had to pick up some extra Mercury 2 cycle oil on the way to the lake. I discovered that I didn’t have enough oil shortly before leaving the house and the only way to meet up with my friends on time, was to pick up the oil on the way. Luckily, I was able to be very careful and not spill a single drop of motor oil.
