clark9312 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Does mercury make quicksilver oil? I'm going to change the lower unit oil and engine oil on my 4 stroke outboard and was looking at different oils. The manual recommends mercury or quicksilver oil. I've never been one to try and cut cost when it comes to oil so was wondering if any of you guys run it in your motors. I know some people say oil is just oil but I'd like to run the best in it. Thanks in advance guys Quote

Currently I buy Mercury DFI oil that I get from domo-onlineDOTcom who sells both merc and quicksilver. They have better marine oil pricing then anywhere else I've found 1 Quote
jboutfishn Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 The oil recommended for the lower unit is totally different from 2cycle oil mixed/injected with fuel. Oil designed for the lower unit uses an additive that will absorb water or I would use Mobil 1 90 weight gear oil. Currently Mercury recommends "Mercury 90 weight High Performance Gear Oil". I I say currently because it seems Mercury upgrades their recommendations on a regular schedule. 1 Quote
