pennzoil xlf

[steplift20]

has anyone used pennzoil xlf tcw-3, did any problems occur? my oil alarm went off at high speed and when i got back i opened up my engine resevoir and it wasnt to the top, i filled it up but didnt take it out yet, I was wondering if the pennzoil xlf is thicker and cause my problem, at low rpms the oil alarm didnt go off but when i revved it up to over 3000 rpms if would got off and on

p.s. im a knew member here and as you can see i own a 1978 wellcraft steplift, the name kinda gave it away, great site looking forward to making knew friends

Welcome, steplift, glad to have you aboard! TCW3 is tcw3..no brand should have an affect on your motor alarm. I had used that oil for a while before selling my 2 stroke 150 Yamaha and never had an issue.

You could have stirred up some gunk in your oil tank that has now blocked the strainer at the bottom. These things usually ocdur when filling or moving the tank around. Not sure what motor you have, but I would now drain and clean the oil tank. Also follow the purge instructions in your manual. Make sure there is no air in the line and try running it again. Those strainer filter can be replaced instead of cleaning as well....

I have used it for 2 years in a 2-stroke, 70 hp Yamaha..........no problems with the oil. Any problem I have had has been with the gas.
