The vro system was disconnected. How do I put the oil in? Or is it ok to hook up the vro system back up? Don't know how to put oil in. In the gas tank? Or trust the vro system? This is my first boat. Sorry I'm a newbie to this. smile

Unless you are planning on replacing the VRO at this time, You better stay with the pre-mix.. Add 1 pint of 2 cycle TCW II oil per 6 gallons of fuel and at the same time add one ounce of Marine Stabil per 10 gallons of fuel. This goes straight into the fuel tank.......

Oh and the Johnson/evinrude oil should work?

J/E oil will work just fine, and age of the engine has nothing to do with the VRO working or not, since it has been disconnected for a long period of time.
