Sticking to the Manufacturer’s Best Outboard Motor Oil Suggestion

Any time we buy something new, whether it’s an appliance or vehicle, my husband immediately begins trying to find another way of doing everything. I have found unopened instructions packets for nearly everything we have bought over the years, which has become bothersome to say the least.
When we bought a new outboard motor for our vacation home’s boat, I put my foot down. While several online forums may have claimed we could find the best outboard motor oil outside of the suggestion by the manufacturer, I felt like this was completely silly. Most of the other brands were maybe a dollar less, if not the same price, and weren’t the risk of blowing our whole motor.
