XD 100 is awesome, I had a drum of it and could'nt give it away. I gave a few gallons to a couple Opti guys and their spark plug issues came down to nill.

Greg you should try the XD100 and see what you think. I tried it and was just amazed at the difference in how my motor ran. I use it in my 2 stroke power tools, and they start and go WOT without any sputtering and waiting for things to clear out, unlike any other 2 stroke oil.
You never ever have to decarb, and it will clean up a carboned up motor. It smells good when it burns too. LOL!!!

I'm describing the slimy, sticky black gunk that was all over everything inside the exhaust section of my motor after using Alisyn. It actually did look like bunker oil. After using XD100 the engine is spotless inside.

I stated in an earlier post that I would try this stuff. Well I just stopped by the local Evinrude dealer to grab a gallon and they want $57.19 plus tax so they can shove it up their ass for that amount. You people who believe in supporting the over priced dealers must have more money than brains. 1 gallon XD 100= 5 gallons of Pennzoil here in Savannah so even if I run it 100:1 its gonna cost twice the amount for half the oil.

How many gallons of oil in a season do you guys that run the XD100 go through? I am buying the XD30 in bulk for $20.00 a gallon and the XD100 is over $50.00 because they don't have it in bulk. It takes a gallon of oil for me per tank of gas. I can buy a lot of BRP engiine tuner and still run the oil recommended by the manufacturer. I was always told from the engine builders that they don't recommend full synthetic in a steel sleeve motor so who is right?

Its easy to find a case of XD100 (3 Gallons) for $100. Even on Ebay. I used about 7-8 Gallons last season between two boats. (But they were both Etec 250HO's) Guys, use whatever you want.....If price of oil is more important than quality than fine, I understand. Dont be mad at the Manufacturer for only wanting the best run threw their engines.....

I would really like to try the stuff cause everyone brags about it so much. The thing is i'm not going to spend almost $65 for a gallon or $100 for a case just to "try" it only to find out it aint no better than what i'm using now. The dealer here in town don't sell quarts if they're even available. Maybe you people who believe in it so much should send out free samples to everyone who don't have the money just to try it so we can see what all the talk is about. Oh yeh it would support the dealers too.

I dont get free stuff from the government like you canadians do since I'm a white working American that pays taxes and not a liberal like your stupid ass. I take it that you must be one of the brp dealers that wants to rape everyone for a gallon of oil like its gold or something. [Edit] I have the money but I'm not gonna give it to idiots like you. The dealer here in town has the same attitude for some reason. Yall must be related! EH!

Nope, not a dealer. Just like good stuff. Not part of the Walmart generation.
Don't start throwing around insults not expecting to get them back.

If the manufacturers only wanted the best oil run through their engines, they would come up with a TC-W4 specification that significantly exceeded TC-W3. That way, they would create competition which would result in further product innovation and lower prices, making more people use better oil.
Instead of doing that, they are trying to create captive markets by scaring people who don't know much about lubricants into buying their OEM branded products.Markus' Performance Boating Links:
