Best Two STroke Oil for Mark 35A 12 years 7 months ago #55852

gdcarpenter Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Thank you received: 1	I have restored a Mark 35A and hope to launch her this summer. I was wondering what specific two stroke oil would be best. I am thinking of going with a 32:1 mix ratio but would welcome other ideas. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Lets see if we can get this topic moving, In my opinion any of the 2 stroke oils are good for break in. 32 to one is a good choice for mix ratio. Do not use synthetics for break in, they actually hinder break in. Once your motor is broken in and you are happy with everything pick an oil that suits how you are using the engine. Ie, hard running at wot, trolling, cruising, everyday, once a month.

Thanks for getting back to me. If it matters the power head was fine so there will be no 'break in' to speak of.

If the particular brand of two stroke oil is not critical would it be heretical to use Johnson/Evinrude 'XD 50' since I always have that on hand for an ETEC that I run for day to day trips. It is a 'synthetic' oil.
