Location: Northern Illinois | I just recently purchased a Stratos Boat with a 2003 175 Johnson 2 stroke outboard. I am new to big outboards and I have 2 separate tanks 1 gas and 1 oil. The oil tank is pretty low. And I suppose there is a oil/gas ratio. What is the oil/gas mix ratio for bigger outboards. Any info helps... Cranker

| The engine will inject the correct amount of oil automatically. You don't do any mixing. Just fill the oil tank with the correct type of oil.

| Make sure to use Johnson/Evinrude oil only, and the correct one, XD30/XD50/XD100 there is a difference and J/E are very sensitive.

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
I would disagree with that statement. Any Good 2 stroke oil will work just fine in it. A recommended oil would be Amsoil HP injector. It is a synthetic oil with less fumes and burns cleanly, less smoke, and will work really well in any 2 stroke that is not a high pressure direct injection. From what I recall, the 175 is a carbuerated 2 stroke.
Not to say Johnson/Evinrude oil is a bad choice, but it is not the only choice out there. The synthetics, in my humble opinion, do a much better job of running cleaner.
