[FONT="]So my oil injection reservoir is getting low and it’s time to get more oil. The past 3 gallons I have used were the Johnson Evinrude XD50 (Premium synthetic blend 2 cycle - TC-W3) This is a 1996 Johnson 90HP V4 J90ELEDR.
I don’t have any J/E dealers close by and I hate spending extra cash for dealer prices so I ordered a gallon from walmart.com for 27.00 plus free shipping) Well the merchant cancelled the order because they were out of stock. I work down the road from a Walmart and I had to buy something so I went to their automotive section and found this other Evinrude/Johnson oil with basically identical specs and I bought some... so I decided to call a dealer to see what the deal was and he said “I don’t know what that oil is but you need to use XD50 for that engine.” So now I am just wondering if it is the same stuff in different packaging? My engine is literally like brand new and runs and looks that way. I just want to make sure...
