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.

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 idea
but i guess it is worth an extra $100/year just in case?? you are right. i am a sucker.
