Nah, I don't perceive it to be that way. A lot of us were a bit skeptical at first about listening to those with more experience and trying new techniques. When its in print from the manufactuer, its hard to be persuaded elsewhere. Been there, done that - advice heeded.

Its hard to see a newbie go down the same paths mistakes have been made on and then question it. Don't let it bother you. Hang in there.

Back on point:
Its not that expensive to buy a gallon each time out. Whats not been used after a couple of weeks, pour it in your car. Btw, got any ideas for painting a hydro?

See people like you are the ones who turn people away from asking questions, thanks for the incredibly uninformative post sir.
I talked to an engine builder and was given advice and I'm supposed to listen somebody online that I know nothing about and just tosses in their 2 cents about how they are right?

I simply asked for the link to this info and you opened your mouth and poop fell out.
I looked and it seems lots of your posts to others are full of this type of **** , so thank you for the info and I will search for the tests...etc without your intelligence.

Spoolinaw, I can say that you have been more than respectful and I do understand your hesitation to just oil down your fuel mix for no apparent reason especially when the engine manufacturer and a well known engine builder and distributor says 6oz. or even 4 oz. is plenty. I am just trying to convince you that more is better with little reason not to use more. I can also understand the need for hard data before you can be swayed and that is great and understandable also. I really don't have any proof to show you but can tell you I have used a GPS to test the oil mixtures before and you had to go to almost 13oz. before it really was measurably slower and yes 10oz. was measurably faster than 6oz. We are only talking a mile per hour so I have chosen to keep it at 10oz. because I have to believe it has saved me a time or two because no matter how well you check your boat before it goes in things happen. We have an old saying ''if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen out there''. If checking it before hand was a guarrantee it will be fine till it comes back I would never need to replace any thing that breaks wouldn't that be nice.

I commend you for being patient, listening, and keeping it civil. Really only trying to help you. Not trying to waste your oil or make your boat slow.
