Bulk 2 stroke oil (at least more than 5l!)

Casing someone who can supply 2 stroke oil in containers larger than 5 litres.

 

Im sure it must be cheaper to buy in bulk, and as I use the boat pretty much every week, figure I may as well stock up.

 

I spoke to the guys at Bias boating and they said that it was probably possible to get it, but they didnt have any large containers.

 

Can anyone recommend somewhere?

 

Cheers

Dan

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

10 Litres...

I get mine in 10 litre containers - either from Saltwater Marine or Portside Marine.

What sort of outboard do you have? You could check with your local dealer and they should be able to advise.

Yamalube is a very good TCW3 2 stroke oil  that uis available in 20 L drums , but it depends on the requirements of your outboard. From memory I paid $170 last time

Cheers guys

 

Outboard is a 2001 Merc. To be honest I have never been overly picky what oil I ran in it so long as it was marked as for use with oil injection. Have used primarily the quicksilver stuff. Any recommendations on what I should be running?
