Curt a looooong time ago they had us run double oil for a tank or so then go to 50:1 on those JohnRudes. Maybe that is what you are remembering.
We usually buy a season's worth when it goes on sale in spring for somewhere around $12-$13, and even free shipping to our door, so it's a bargain for us.
Curt double oiling is actually 25:1 ratio half as many gallons of gas to oil ratio then 50:1 Frug would you be shocked if I told you that cabelas oil is pennzoil with a cabelas label on it.
we all know cabela isnt in the oil producing business as is mercury or yamaha or for that matter any outboard manufacturer. all they do is supply a spec to an actual manufacturer with the addins to be added and stick on a label. One of the major mfg is pennzoil. TCWIII oil is all the same and never let a dealer tell you your warrantee is void because you didnt use their brand of oil. That was thrown out of court in the 90's and deemed unlawful. but some dealers still try and use that argument to screw you.
