I have a Merc Optimax, 175, and I just got more oil for the boat.

I got the name brand Merc stuff that says specific for Optimax.

It was EXPENSIVE! Just over $20 / Gal

Do you use the name brand specific stuff? or is Generic just as good?

Would I save a lot, or is it not worth the risk of poor product for the cost savings.

Kind of a trivial cost over all I guess, just was a shock never have bought so much at one time. I guess it will be worse when I fill the 85 Gal gas tank at $2./gal
