I have a 2001 Challenger 2000 with the 210hp Mercury Optimax engine and recently had it serviced at which time I was told to start using Mercury Optimax synthetic blend 2 stroke outboard oil. The question I have is that it clearly states on the bottle that this is not to be used on engines that require TC-W3 oil. The sticker and manaul for the boat says that you need to use TC-W3 oil.
I have been told by the mechanic that the oil provided is good. Can anyone please tell me if this is true. I don't wnat to experience any expensive issues.
Thanks,
