I'm not being negative here but.....we are talking old stuff here. Something is bound to break sooner or later. Expect it to happen. I have a 1997 175 EFI Mariner. I check the oil level the night before I take it out. 15 years or more is a long time. If you would have checked the oil level you would not have ran out!!
Of course, but taking the oil injection system out of the mix is the best thing you can do. It could prevent a lot of problems and expenses down the line.
But for a lot of people, the ease of pouring oil into the reservior is a better deal than mixing gas. We live with the choices we make. Ease vs. Astute Ownership.
We've already heard from some that have fried motors with the oil reservior full. |
