For your 2-stroke outboard, be sure and use only 2-cycle outboard oil, with an NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) certified rating of TCW3. Never, never, never use automobile oil in your 2-stroke outboard. You can find Tohatsu 2-stroke outboard motor oil at your local dealer. TLDI outboards should only be run using TCW3 oil specifically formulated for use in Direct Injection motors. Standard TCW3 oil is not recommended for use in TLDI outboards. The following oils have been tested by our factory and certified for use in TLDI motors: Tohatsu Premium Oil Nissan Marine Premium Oil Pennzoil Complete Marine Synthetic Pennzoil Semi-Synthetic Outboard Oil Mercury Optimax/DFI Oil Yamaha Yamalube 2-M Semi-Synthetic Injector Oil Bombardier RAM Ficht Oil The above oil brands are currently the only brands that have been tested and approved by our factory for use in TLDI systems. Brand names listed are trademarked by their respective owners.
