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.

Yes, as of 1975............
In 1975 Congress enacted the Magnuson-Moss Act to regulate consumer product warranties. An examination of the law reveals that manufacturers can issue specifications for oils used in their equipment to maintain warranty but they must allow consumers to use any oils that meet these specifications.

BTW, I think I'll give this oil a try this season if I can find it at a decent price somewhere.
