Synthetic to Regular 2-stroke oil
 
Is there any hazards to be concerned about when putting regular Quicksilver 2 stroke oil when I was previously running Quicksilver synthetic? I know on a car you arent supposed to change back once you use synthetic. Seems like on my 25hp merc I went back and forth all the time with no problems, but this is on a Merc 115 pre mixed gas.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Only thing I have ever been told. Was changing oil types sometimes plugs the screen on the little filter on oil injection. Not sure if true or not.

I switched from dfi oil to premium plus in my 200 optimax about 6 months ago and it hasnt been a problem. I've put around 50 hours since the switch.

If it is an EFI motor or carburetor your fine , run it . Or any oil that is NMMA certified TC-W3
Optimax DFI engines Merc now calls for DFI oil
