Saving Money with Bulk Motor Oil

vegetable-oil5Whenever I buy groceries, I skip over the typical grocery stores and I go straight to Costco. For me, buying in bulk is the only way to go with pretty much anything. As long as you’ve got enough room to store the items that you’re purchasing and they aren’t quickly perishable, there’s almost no reason at all to not buy things in bulk.

Generally, buying in bulk means getting a lot more for a lot less; the cost is typically lower by volume if you’re buying something in bulk. This goes for more than just food-related items too. For instance, whenever I’m purchasing items for my car or boat, I go for bulk, such as bulk motor oil. This way, I never have to worry about getting more and I get it for a better price.

Using Evinrude XD50 Oil like My Friends

boating_friendsThe majority of my friends have their own boats and I go out boating and fishing with them pretty frequently. However, I always felt like I was mooching off them a bit because I never had my own boat and we were always alternating with my friends’ boats. Recently, I decided to finally bite the bullet and purchase my own boat so that I could contribute.

Luckily, all of my friends were all really well-versed when it came to boats, so I was able to get a lot of advice about what kind of boat to get. Additionally, they were able to help me figure out what sort of maintenance supplies I would need. For instance, when it came to my oil needs, they guided me towards Evinrude XD50 oil, as it was generally what they used as well.

Yamalube Oil for a Father’s Day Outing

ben Spies and Colin Edwards - Tech3 YamahaMy brother and I went on a weekend fishing trip with my dad for Father’s Day this year. We had a great time together; my dad rented out a house by a lake for the weekend in advance and we got up early in the mornings to go out on his boat and see what we could catch. I think it was fun enough for us to consider turning it into an annual trip.

I didn’t get my dad much for Father’s Day; after all, what do you get for the man who has everything? But I did get him some stuff that I knew he would have to replenish eventually. For instance, I picked him up some Yamalube oil, since I know how often he goes out on his boat, and he could always use the necessary maintenance supplies for it.

Remembering Mercury Oil

20130302_011400_herringI have trouble remembering names. This isn’t something that just happens when I meet people, but I also struggle when it comes to remembering the names of songs or movies or brands. Sometimes this can become a real issue, but I’ve learned to better remember names by associating names with something and coming up with mnemonics or other tricks.

For instance, I was out the other day shopping for some things for my boat. I couldn’t remember the outboard motor oil that I like using for my boat, but luckily I had used association techniques to remember it. I had somehow associated ‘boat oil’ with ‘hot planet’ and remembered that it was Mercury oil that I preferred to use on my boat.

Learning about Boats and Two Cycle Outboard Oil

boat-oil-changeWhen I was in high school, I remember knowing a lot of guys that were way into cars and could talk about all the different specs and information about new cars coming out and things like that. I was kind of bewildered by it because I couldn’t fathom being one of those people, but as an adult, I’ve turned out not to be that different from those kinds of guys after all.

Rather than being into cars, however, my current group of friends is very interested in boating and all of the logistics behind having a boat. We’re constantly discussing which two cycle outboard oil to use or talking about the new boats that are coming out. We know how to do maintenance on our own boats and we’re all pretty well-versed in the subject.

Former Surfer Uses Mercury Outboard Oil

Mercury-Marine-2Surfing was something I used to do a lot when I was younger; it really developed an intense love of water for me. I sustained a leg injury and haven’t been able to properly surf ever since then, which was something that really upset me, but one injury certainly couldn’t keep me away from the open water, even if I can’t surf anymore like I used to.

These days, the primary time that I spend out on the water is on my boat. Obviously, it doesn’t give me quite the thrill of surfing, but I still love the water so much that I’m always willing to lounge around or go fishing with my friends. If I’m not out on my boat, I’m usually working on it and fixing it up, which is why I’ve got a good stock of Mercury outboard oil.

Staying Safe With Evinrude Outboard Oil

article-new-ehow-images-a07-87-b8-remove-johnson-outboard-lower-unit-800x800I don’t yet have any kids of my own, but my older brother’s son sure is growing up fast. Every now and then I’ll take my nephew out – sometimes with my brother as well, though his schedules is pretty busy – and we’ll go fishing together. I don’t yet know if I’ll ever end up having kids, but taking my nephew out boating every now and then is good practice for if I do.

Whenever my nephew comes over, I realize that I’ve got to be in charge of keeping him safe. Obviously, I always make him wear a lifejacket, but another important part of keeping him safe is simply making certain that my boat has received the proper maintenance. That’s why I always keep a supply on Evinrude outboard oil on hand to do regular oil changes.

Knowing If Your Vehicle Needs 2 Stroke Oil

0a7fcdb2250f43fa9c30ae8ec2af096aIt’s important to know as much as possible about your vehicle, whether it’s car, a boat, or anything else. The reason for this is because knowing a lot about vehicles allows you to know how to diagnose and treat any problems with it. Obviously, if you’re less experienced, it’s generally in your best interest to bring your vehicle in to a mechanic, but having some knowledge can help.

Even having the most basic information can help significantly. For instance, if you have a 2 stroke engine in your boat, you have to be certain that you’re using 2 stroke oil when you’re doing maintenance on your boat. Similarly, knowing the type of car you have can be important when it comes to choosing tires or anything else for your vehicle.

Yamalube 2M Oil for Newlywed Boaters

sbe5p705I went to a wedding recently; it was the first wedding I had ever been to, so when I was thinking about what I was going to give the couple as a gift, I panicked a little bit. They didn’t have a registry or anything like that, so I wasn’t entirely sure what it was that I should try and pick up for them. I’d never given a wedding gift before, but I wanted it to be something they’d enjoy.

One thing that I knew very well about the couple was how much they loved boating together. They actually met initially at a boating convention, so there was rarely a weekend where they weren’t out together on their boat; I’d been out with them a number of times. What I decided to get them was some Yamalube 2M oil, because who can have too much of that?

Learning About Yamalube Ringfree Plus

tractorBoating was never something that really interested me, but I think may have been in part because I didn’t live close to any large bodies of water when I was growing up. I never really had the chance or the option to do any water-based activities except on the few occasions I’d visit my grandfather and he would go take me fishing, but those instances were few and far between.

Nowadays I’ve moved further away from home to a place where there are lakes all over the place. The majority of my friends now grew up around water so boating and fishing is always part of what we like to do. I’ve learned a lot about boating over the years, as well as boat maintenance; I even know things about fuel additives like Yamalube Ringfree Plus.

Arguing About the Best Outboard Motor Oil

SB1C985_sI’m always arguing with my brother about things; we’re both natural-born arguers and we were both even on the Debate team when we were in high school. Sometimes we have a tendency to just argue for hours about the most trivial things. We are never really unfriendly,  but we often both find ourselves becoming very passionate about whatever we’re arguing about.

We recently got into a debate over what the best outboard motor oil for boats is. Personally, I think it’s Mercury oil, while my brother is on the side of Evinrude oil. As per usual, we had to agree to disagree, because we’re both particularly stubborn when it comes to changing our minds. Neither of us ever wants to admit when we think the other might be right.

Betting with Evinrude Oil

xd50My best friend and I can be a little on the competitive side. We’re always finding ways to turn things into bets and competitions. Most recently, when we were hanging out on a boating trip, we decided that we would have a fishing contest. All we needed to do was set up the parameters of the bet, so we could figure out exactly what the stakes would be.

I promised that I would buy him some Evinrude oil for his boat if he won the contest, and he said he would do the same for me if I won. I thought that would be a fair wager and that we were pretty evenly matched. I was wrong about one thing though; he caught way more fish than I did. He’s clearly more of an expert fisherman than I am, but I was happy to pay up.
