OMC or Yamaha or Merc are not in the oil making buisiness. They contract someone else to make it for them. West Marine or boaters world or whomever can do the same. 2.5 gals of 2 cycle marine engine oil that does not void any engine warrenty and appears (from the label) to contain the same primary contents and costs $21.95.
If I had to guess...there are probably tighter quality controls on the OMC stuff and you may get a more consistant product. Is it noticeable to you and me?...I doubt it and most likely it will work fine.
The reason I posted this is that in the store they had results of an indepentent test showing deposits left by different oils at 600 degs. (omc/yamaha/quicksliver/westmarine and another) and the results (surprise) showed west marine left the least deposts and they claimed smokes less. I just wondered if any of you "power-users" have noticed a difference?
