Re: XD-100 and full syntetic E/J oil

[rmhxruss]

This oil thing with BuRP leaves a lot of questions. The NMMA who does the oil rating. The old BIA. Only lists and tests for TCW-3 oil. The BuRP ratings are in house only not industry wide. The XD30, XD50 and XD100 should have a cross reference but none exists. BEL RAY sells JS-2 as a equal to XD100 but it is only semi synthetic not fully. Someone else should be in charge of testing TCW oil not NMMA. Johnson Evinrude BuRP sell a line of oil to non dealers but say nothing on the label about the XD listing but they are XD30 and XD50 oils. They only sell XD100 to the dealer network.
