What is my oil ratio mix for my two-stroke?
Most two strokes mix 50:1. There are some like mercury race motors that mix 32:1. There are some that are posted to mix 100:1 but those are from the 80's and should be mixed at 50:1.
What two stroke oil do I need?
If you have a regular carberated engine or a EFI engine it uses a Premium Plus TCW3 oil which is carried in our shop.
If your engine is direct injection, which is different than oil injection, it needs direct injection oil such as; XD 50, XD100, Sierra DFI oil, and Mercury Optimax oil.
