Protecting a Warranty with Mercury 2 Stroke Oil

When you buy a new boat motor, you probably want to keep it running as long as possible since motors are not exactly cheap. For my father, purchasing his mercury engine was a huge investment. He had been using an engine that his father had used on his old boat, but since this motor was old, it didn’t last very long.

When he made the switch to his new motor, he liked it a lot better because it ran smoother. To keep it running smoothly, he maintained it regularly. This was part of keeping the warranty valid. He also got rid of the cheap off brand oil that he’d used for the old motor and started using Mercury 2 stroke oil.

Why There’s a Mercury Oil 55 Gallon Drum in My Garage

For my entire life, I’ve always hated shopping. Some of my earliest memories are my mom dragging me along to stores with her and attempting to find ways to entertain myself amidst the boredom of shopping. I thought things might be easier with online shopping, but I hate how long it often takes for me to find and select the products that I need.

This attitude of mine towards shopping is one of the primary reasons that I prefer to purchase items in bulk all at once. For instance, when I was thinking last about boat maintenance, I stocked up on everything that I could possibly need so I wouldn’t have to shop for things multiple times. I’ve got a Mercury oil 55 gallon drum sitting in my garage now alongside other boating surplus items.

Finding the Correct Boat Motor Oil

It’s important to make sure that you have stocked up on the supplies you need that can be used to maintain your vehicles. This is something that stands true regardless of whether we’re talking about a car, a motorcycle, a boat, or anything in between. Maintenance is enormously important to ensure that your vehicle will run properly for a long time.

When you have a boat, for instance, it’s absolutely vital that you keep a supply on hand of the best boat motor oil you can find. Motor oil is the lifeblood of your boat, so it’s not something to turn your nose at. You should make sure to do a comparison of the different types of motor oils in order to figure out which can be used best on your own boat.

Mercury Optimax Oil as the Perfect Christmas Gift

Even though it’s winter and it’s been too cold for my dad to take his boat out because all of the lakes he frequents have frozen over, that doesn’t mean that boating hasn’t been on his mind. Even now, with boating weather being months away, he’s still constantly talking about where he wants to go for his next boating trip and what kind of fish he wants to try to catch.

When I was brainstorming ideas for what I should get my father for Christmas, the answer was extremely obvious to me. All I needed to do was find the proper items that he uses for his boat. I decided that I would get him a brand new fishfinder device, as well as some bottles of Mercury Optimax oil, to get him even more excited for his next fishing trip.

Picking an Environmentally Friendly Two Cycle Oil

When my dad first bought his chainsaw, he spent the day messing with it to find out how it worked. He read parts of the instruction book to find out how to add gasoline and what to put in the engine. He discovered that two cycle oil had to be mixed with the gasoline so that the engine would continue to run. The first brand that he purchased was not very good.

My father didn’t like the way the chainsaw made a black cloud of exhaust whenever he ran it. He went online to find a better way of using it. He discovered that some two cycle oil is more environmentally friendly than others. Some are higher quality to reduce smoke and deposits that they leave in the engines.

Keeping Ash Away with Evinrude XD 100 Oil

When we first got our new outboard engine, I was excited. We had been using the same motor for over 15 years and, as you could imagine, it started going a lot slower and wasn’t giving out a particularly great performance. However, I was a little concerned when we were starting out using it, as there seemed to be a lot of ash.
In fact, the engine didn’t smell so great while we were riding around the lake. While I didn’t expect it to smell like roses, something was definitely not right. I look the boat over to the mechanic down the lake from us (you could pull right up to the dock; it was pretty cool) and they told us we should have been using Evinrude XD 100 oil. It was simple but it fixed the problem.

The History of BRP and Evinrude Outboard Oil

Bombardier Recreational Products — also known as BRP — is a company that was founded in Quebec in 1942, which initially operated to create snowmobiles and related products. As time has gone on, the company has ventured into other territories including motorcycles, ATVs, and boating. There are a number of different subsidiaries and brands that are owned by BRP.

One of the company’s more recent acquisitions was that of Evinrude Outboard Motors, which was acquired after its former owners filed for bankruptcy. Evinrude Outboard Motors produces plenty of well-reviewed products including Evinrude outboard oil, which is perfect when used for outboard motors on boats.

Shopping for Mercury Oil

My family loves to go boating. Just about everyone in the family owns a boat. Every summer, we would get together and go out to one of the islands with our boats. For some reason, we almost always took hours to leave the marina. My grandpa was obsessed with keeping his boat perfectly maintained, so often he would have some last minute project to complete.

I remember one time, he sent my mother and I to get Mercury oil from the shop near the marina. Of course, he did not think to tell us what kind to get. We were left staring at various different types of oil, oblivious to whether he needed premium oil or some other type. Eventually, we were delayed even longer by having to ask him.

Keeping the Engine Running with Evinrude XD50 Oil

My father owned a boat when I was growing up. That boat was the bane of his existence. Every winter, when the boat didn’t go out very much, he would run it a few times to make sure that the engine didn’t break. Every spring, without fail, something would go wrong. One year the steering stopped working. The next it leaked oil.

He would go out to the boat, armed with a gallon of Evinrude XD50 oil and come home cursing and stomping, because there was always one more thing wrong with it. Just when he thought that he had the boat fixed, it would die, usually in some extremely inconvenient place. While the boat refused to work properly most of the time, he loved it and would never part with it.

Buying Bulk Outboard Motor Oil

When you think of huge drums of motor oil, you’re probably thinking of big companies leaking oil into the river or action movies where drums of oil explode. In reality drums of oil are not nearly as unstable. You can safely buy and store motor oil, without worrying that your whole garage will spontaneously go up in flame.

If you purchase bulk outboard motor oil for your boat, you can save a lot of money by buying an entire drum of oil, rather than small containers. Containers are tested prior to sale so that they do not leak. Oil can be stored for a long time in these drums without giving you any reason to worry.

Explaining 2 Stroke Oil

When you go to an automotive or boating store, you will see many different types of oil. To me, all those numbers, names, and phrases mean essentially nothing. They are all confusing and complicated. What I basically understand is that there are different types of oil for different types of engines. Car engines differ from boat motors, so they use different oil.

For example, 2 stroke oil is a type of engine oil that is used for two stroke engines. Engines that require this type of oil are generally small motors, like the kind that you would find in your lawn mower. The oil is added directly to the gasoline, rather than in some special tank. This means that the oil will be consumed in the same way that gasoline is.

Two Cycle Outboard Oil Even in Winter

It’s getting closer and closer to the holidays and if you live somewhere warm like I do, that just means that you might have a little bit more free time that can be spent outside for a few days. I do not envy anyone who’s got a white Christmas this year, because I’d much rather be able to spend time on the ocean in my boat with some of my friends and family.

When my children are on their Winter Break and I’ve got a few days off of work for Christmas, that’s always the best time for us to go on a boating excursion. I make sure that I’ve got all the two cycle outboard oil I need and then I load up on fishing gear and we find somewhere new and interesting to check out together. It’s really a great bonding experience.
