hydro Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Are you referring to oil you use in your outboard? if so, I would not. You auger is air cooled and has tougher operating conditions and much wider operational temperature range. I would use an oil designed for air cooled engines (string trimmers/chain saws) or go with one of the synthetic miracle oils at 100:1 mix. Keep the outbaord oil in the boat.

broken_line Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 in a pinch mix it rich.. but like hydro said the oil for air cooled engines is best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes!!!! I have the Tecumseh Technicians Handbook in my hand and TCW3 is what is used. It is on page one of the book. If you buy oil from the manufacturer, that is also what is listed on the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
