Default Which outboard?

Seems like a deal until you figure back in the cost of the oil.


I know - NYOB seems to have a problem with this concept too. In terms
of ETEC only:

@ $26 a gallon for XD-100, it would seem to be expensive.

Over the summer of average use - say around 100/125 hours, you won't
even use a gallon. How many oil changes do you go through on a four
stroke every 100/125 hours?
