Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Do any of you guys/gals use Ames Oil(spelling) in place of the manf. recemended oil, and if you do, what are the results?
I've tried the cheaper stuff ( couldn't get the manf. brand ) and had plugs foul, so I went back to the manf. brand and the motor runs alot better.
Will Ames Oil work any better?

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Amsoil is a 100% synthetic oil. I've used it over the years with good success, but lately use the Merc Opti oil exclusively for my Opti Max motors. There are synthetic blends, synthetics, and the TCW3 non synthetics out there. All will be ok for the motor intended, look to your handbook on the motor or call a dealer for recommendations. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I've used Amsoil 2-stroke for about the past five seasons now and really like it. There is definately less smoke and the motor idles better. I think it is well worth the extra cost. |

Location: Cohasset, MN | I've been using Amsoil without issue for about 6 years. It goes in my outboard and in the sleds. They make several varieties for different applications. Their website has info that'll point you to the correct type for your use. |
