Why are you commenting? You don't know anything about boats. You're the
asshole who wanted to winterize his outboard with WD-40, and wanted to
know which two cycle oil to mix in the gas for your four cycle outboard.



Aw, for pity sakes.

If my memory serves me correctly, Herring asked what kind of oil to
use to 'fog' his outboard for winterizing and WD-40 was mentioned. You
can buy fogging oil and use it only to find out that cheap WD, STP,
Liqui-Drench, and any other penetrating oil contains about the same
qualities as a $9.95 can of "genuine" fogging oil.

PLUS! The question that John brought up about what brand of oil to use
in the crank case of his 4 cycle outboard was brought up, and Bill
Graham (mechanic extraordinaire who sees no redeeming quality in
rec.boats due to all the political and insulting posts) thought that
Herrings engine was a 2-cycle, so Bill recommended that he use any
quality oil rated for 50:1 for fuel/oil mix. Bill never advised to
change the crank case oil on a 4 stroke and use 2 cycle oil. and
Herring never took it that way. For all I know. John never brought up
a question on what 2 cycle mix oil to put in a 4 stroke crank case
There is a misconception there. So, This is from my recollections and
I'd like to see anybody prove otherwise. So until then can we finally
give that topic a break????
