Is the Penzoil premium plus synthetic marine tcw-3 the right stuff??

No, do not use the premium plus synthetic, it has additives that are not needed and not recommended. If the Pennzoil Universal is not available, I'd suggest trying the SuperTech, they come from the same refinery and have the same makeup. If you can't find the SuperTech Universal, the SuperTech Outboard should work well in it's place. I've found that the SuperTech Universal is NOT available in many parts of the country. So, if the Pennzoil Universal is not available, the SuperTech Outboard is the next best choice.

I took it back and got the 16oz bottle of Penzoil multi purpose.

I've been using the Pennzoil, mixed with PowerService, about 1/4 qt Pennzoil to 3/4 qt PS and about 1/2 qt of the mix at fill-up.
Much quieter, especially when cold, no unusual smoke.

Workhorse,
When you say "Pennzoil Universai" in the quote above....... you are referring to the one on.. The List ... labeled Pennzoil Outdoor/ Multi-Purpose ???

Correct ? I just want to be clear I am using the right one.

Thank you......

Yes, sorry, that wording in THAT particular post was wrong. I did mean the Pennzoil Outdoor/MULTIPURPOSE (same one on the list).

i feel added lube is very important! thats unscientific but seems to be supported.
will give a tip for cold weather on this subject, i mix the oil and ps 50/50.
not for the truck but for me. standing out there trying to pour the oil into the tank you could freeze to death!!!!!

FOR ALL POWER SERVICE USERS!

You olny need 9.6 Ozs of power service per tank of fuel PERIOD!

Using more than 9.6 Ozs of power service is over kill and causing the lubicity of the fuel to be come thinner. So Don't add more PS than you really need to. The 96Oz bottle of PS is enough to make for 300 Gallons... Or a mix ratio of 400:1.

So if you mixing with 2 cycle oil you need 32 ozs of 2 cycle oil to 32 gallons. Or 1oz of oil to 1 gallon of fuel. Then the 9.6 Ozs of PS. Abusing additive is going to cause excessive IP pump wear!

Knowing that VP44 pumps are $1,600 bucks I'm not going to use more than directed!

If I remember correctly all the ones on The List are OK as far as ash goes and it is speeled out in that post I was referring to.

I'll try to find it and get back to you........

Have a good one,
chuck
