Ive always used mercury 2 stroke oil and never had a problem with it? I just use it coz it was designed by the engine manfacturer so why would there be anything wrong with it! Apart from as silversurfer says it is f**kin expensive!

Smells great !!

RRP is £7.95 / litre - but can do better prices if buying cases of 12 x 1 litre at a time.

Does your stuff mix with Biolube 2T or any of the Quicksilver products?
