I tried this in the right place and no answers.
What oil do you use for your Mercury? I use a blend from where I bought the motor but not sure what make it is? If I go to a Synthetic blend do I need to use up all the oil in the tank first (reservoir) or can I just add it to what is left in it?

DFI, I was told to run my oil tank as low as I could then switch.

I was under the understanding that if you have a DFI PRoXS motor you could only run DFI oil. Am I wrong? that said, the only DFI oil I've ever seen sold is the Quicksilver.

Premium Plus.

It's what the dealer I use recommends and I trust them 100%
