Wow $42 a gallon seems really high it had better be the $h1t at that price. What's supposed to be new and improved about it? Has Mercury finally built its own refinery?

I will check with my source down here and see what they charge for the racing 2 stroke oil. I am not sure what I am paying/??? LOL

Like everything else if you have to ask you probably should not be doing it.

LA are you sure that is the new stuff? That seems like a good deal. The new oil is all synthetic.

I have been running Sierra gear lube for 10+ tears without any problems. With 260s' I changed the lube after every run turning 7k rpms +. Now with the 225s' I can extend the lube changes to every 5th time out turning 6900 rpm infrequently. I quit buying Mercury synthetic and went to Pennzoil synthetic and haven't even fouled a plug in three years with the promaxes. If it says Merc I run from it. my .02 cents.
