I had the same, very good, smoking reduction results on a 25 hp Johnson a
few years back. The synthetic oil costs more, but it is not too high a cost
when you buy in bulk. Many dealers will sell it to you in bulk if you bring
your own container.

I have a 15hp 2-cycle engine, and I currently use Quicksilver Premium
oil.
I've heard rumor that there is an oil that produces less smoke. Does
anyone
have any experience with this?

Thanks,
TT

Yep, switching over from OMC oil to Quicksilver Premium reduced the
smoking
from my Johnson 200 significantly.
