Opti-2
Have any of y’all tried opti-2? I’ve been using it for years and a friend said that it’s not good for outboards.

Never heard of it. What is it??

It’s a 2 stroke oil with fuel stabilizer already in it.

I see a lot of good info on the web. A lot of it has to do with oil mixture. Did your friend give any reason as to why it’s not good for outboards??

For $66 per gallon I think I'll stick with Evinrude XD-100 from https://www.domo-online.com/
Then there is this theory also: Don't use an oil designed for air cooled 2-strokes in a water-cooled 2-stroke outboard and vise versa. An outboard has a cooler operating temperature than an air cooled 2-stroke engine. |
Yep ... <'TK><

While I am at this what is your opinion of a full synthetic TCW-3 vs a synthetic blend in a 1998 225 Evinrude. I was thinking it might reduce the smoke cloud that I get with a regular TCW-3 oil. |
Smoke !! <'TK><

Now the 2 stroke cloud appears at start up and idling ... Now if the cloud bothers you I don't know that a 100% synthetic will correct what a 2 stroke does. SMOKE... WHICH IS GOOOOOD! .... Hope this helps ... <'TK><;) |

A little more info <'TK><

Now to be honest some manufacturers of certain outboards smoke more than others by design ... depending on how the combustion chamber is designed ... Example is it a looper or a crossfire, or other design. ... <'TK>< |
