Noticed that some other oil was being used in my new (to me) 2013 Nitro Z-7 with Optimax 150. Decided to purchase the recommended Mercury oil and added the full gallon to the existing oil. This left the tank about 80%-ish full.
Now, after running at all, when I drop to idle, it blows a fair amount of smoke. I drained the oil down to about halfway and the condition might be slightly better, but still smoking at idle.
Now I see a sticky online somewhere about NEVER MIX MECURY OIL IN THE REMOTE TANK. Ugh.
Can anyone offer any advice?
TYIA,
