Now that has me concerned. I had the same mechanic winterize my motors as BillR. He spayed an entire can of fogging oil in both motors....HO's. One half in each. Is that too much?

He talked to a Merc Racing tech who said it was just fine to fog the FI motors that way as opposed to the oil in the fuel method.

One more question. If the fogging oil mucks up the plugs.....would it be better to change the plugs after firing up the engines in spring??
