Best oil for Merc Optimax

I have a 2001 Merc 225HP Optimax 2 stroke engine. What's the best 2 stroke oil to use, or does it matter? The motor has 631 hours on it.
Thanks
Rick

Re: Best oil for Merc Optimax

When I had my Opti all I ever used was the Mecury Synthetic 2 stroke. I believe it was specially formulated for that engine. Pricey, but we never had a major problem (over 3000 hours). We also religiously used the Yamaha Ring Free to the gas. I swear by that stuff for keeping the injectors clean, etc. We still use the ring free on our 4 stroke.
