I have a 1993 50hp Merc that literally gets hundereds of hours a year put on it. I'm lucky enough to only live 5 minute from the ramp to my favorite lake. I've been running Amsoil HP injector as a pre-mix for it for so long that until recently I forgot the difference between it and other oil. 2 weeks ago I was fuel up and realized I was out of oil. I bought the "Station Brand" TCW-3 oil and ran that day on it. OMG.......I couldn't wait to get off the water. The smoke and fumes were terrible. The motor also trolled like crap. When I got home I dumped the tank into my sons dirt bike and completely refueled with the good stuff. I had just replaced the plugs the week before and pulled them that day to check them after running the crap oil. They were caked with carbon so bad I just tossed them and put new ones in. I though it was a little extreme for only a days use. I wont be making that mistake again. The good oil is deffinantly worth the difference in price in my opinion.

Good Fishin'
Tim
