Right oil?

[AaronM]

Whats the best oil to put in a 2 stroke 1996 Evinrude Intruder? It has separate oil injection....Thanks for any help!

I would go with XD 50 evinrude oil.

[overdalimit]

Yeah I second the xd 50 it is a sythetic blend. the xd 30 is plain old tcw 3 oil and is the least expensive and it would be ok but it does not have the carb x additive that helps keep carbon buildup to a min. The xd 100 is pure sythetic and would be the "best" but the cost is like $45 a gallon and I think that your motor is a bit of an oil hog if I remember correctly. I buy xd 50 in bulk from the dealer and only pay around 20 a gallon.

Thanks guys, where is the best place in MN to get that type of oil? Not sure who carries it locally (St. Cloud)

Amsoil Injector

+2 amsoil HP injector

100% synthetic

[paceman]

amsoil all the way.....

I would also use the Amsoil. I ran the Injector in my old Yamaha 25 horse oil injected and it was great.

Where is the best place to get this from?

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Fleet sells it and oilman on this forum does also. Right to your door in just a couple of days

i did the perferred customer thing from the oilman. best thing possible if you use enough oil. i run it in all 2-stroke stuff as well as my car. gets me discounts on boat oil, car oil, oil filter, air filter, and they have a varitey of other products as well including ngk sparkplugs, mothers car care products and more. i buy oil in 2-1/2 gallon jugs, saves even more $$$

I appreciate all the unsolicited comments.

Link for the HP Injector

Info: a " Preferred Customer " - pay a $20.00 per year membership fee and get all AMSOIL products for wholesale, saving about 25% (1 case of HP Injector or automotive engine oils will pay for it.)

[Northlander]

Im on that program and it pays for itself easy. I use Amsoil in everything from my boat to auger, weedwacker, leaf blower, lawn mower etc. Love it. I live in Superior Wi. so I get it right at the warehouse.

Thanks again for the help guys, just picked up the HP Injector. Is it best to drain or burn up the oil in your tank? I have about 1/4 of the tank left.

Same question from me. Can you mix Amsoil with a little standard 2 stroke oil that is remaining in the oil reserve tank, or do you need to get it out of there?

[broken_line]

do not mix oils! synthetics and petrolioum oils do not mix well at all!

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

So how much regular oil is to much before I add the Amsoil?

[theoilman]

AMSOIL HP Injector is compatible to mix, but it is best to minimize mixing.

Draining an outboard injection oil tank is on most engines difficult, nearly impossible, or at best very sloppy.

Never take a chance on running out of oil!

I recommend run your current oil down to the low oil warning light/buzzer goes, then top the tank with the AMSOIL HP Injector. This way you minimize the mixing.

[crothmeier]

just switched over my fathers 89 evinrude to amsoil. we burnt up as much regular oil as we dared leaving only a little bit in the resevoir, then put a gallon of hp injector in. havent run it enough to notice the difference but i know we will! it says right on the jug to minimize mixing. buy the gallon jugs for a better deal.
