 Oil is specially formulated and tested to not only maintain a high level
of performance but also increase the durability of the engine. This special blend, developed
by Mercury Marine, contains more than twice the additives used in standard blends and
ensures the greatest protection for your engine.
Periodically consult with your dealer to get the latest gasoline and oil recommendations.
If “Mercury Precision Premium

available, you may substitute another brand of 2-Cycle outboard oil that is NMMA Certified
TC-W3. Nationally recognized brands are recommended. Continued use of inferior 2-Cycle
