cheap oil does stink and smoke a more than quality oils
In my earlier .. dark days I stuck to Mercury brand oil on my 4cyl. 50 and classic 50
If you only go out on occasion you can splurge on synthetic oils like ETEC xd100 bio degradable which smokes next to nothing… on my 75hp anyway
it is costly but not smelly…
it does not generate much carbon in fact it is suppose to clean the innards on a regular ETEC. I presume it would do the same on a 2 cyl
AMSOIL also make a syntec oil as well as othet manuf.
it is always best to keep the wife upwind anyway . 😉
