i often wonder if I am a sucker for paying $25/gal for xd-50.....

i guess when you add it all up, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the expenses.

Yes you are..I know a 2 boat mechanics that do a ton of outboard overhauls..they both say in 20+ years..never a failure due to brand of oil....I've been using cheap brand and bulk oil since I've been boating//been boating since about 1978..weather my dads boats or my own..never bought the "so called" good stuff..It's all the SAME..

this debate has been beaten to death, but i have never seen real proof - either way. i know you have been boating a long time, and so have i. we never used to care about this stuff until the latest 'high performace' injected engines came out. my oil is inected into the cyl seperate of the gas. doesn't it seem like i would need different oil than someone premixing for a 2hp dinghy? I truly don't know the answer.

some threads:

For me, those threads leave me with more questions then answers. But i think that it is safe to say that they are not "all the same" and they are not made by only two manufacturers.

Are they any better??? I have no ideahttp://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif but i guess it is worth an extra $100/year just in case?? you are right. i am a sucker.
