For my 1967 Johnson 3 1/2 hp sailboat outboard that I bought last year for $300, the seller who is a super expert on these old outboards told me the Walmart 2-stroke oil is what he uses and that it's just as good as the Evinrude-Johnson gallon.

How's about in a 1997 Mariner 75 hp 2-stroke .....does it makes any difference using the 12.88 Walmart oil .....or moving up to the Mercury brand regular or synthetic blend 2-stroke oil that costs about 20 and 25-dollars?

E-tec outboards are incredibly expensive, and probably very different from what I've got.
