Replace the plugs, and go with nothing more that 50:1

OMC's XD-25 is more marketing hype than oil, perhaps it has an additive
that
can stop the new E-techs from blowing up, but I doubt it. ANY good
TCW-3
at 50/1 is fine for that older outboard.

Note that Mercury and OMC do not own a refinery.... thier oil is made to
specs by the LOWEST BIDDER.

Could be, but after many many years of playing with 2-strokes
in high-end large model airplanes with expensive engines turning
up at 12K RPM's all day, and numerous outboards, I find XD25
to be almost as good as Redline, BelRay and Yamma lube blend,
and I judge them on: plug glazing, deposits, wear, and exhaust residue.
Not all TCW-3's are the same, I had issues with Valvoline's TCW3.
You said: any "good" TCW3, which implies, and is an open admision
that there are "bad" TCW3's (otherwise you'da said just "any" TCW3).
