Blue Marble oil ????

[Jigging 5]

I was talking with a guy from NJ. about fishing Lake Haptacong. Anyway, we got on the subject of 2 cycle oils and he talked up this oil called Blue Marble. I did some research and found some pretty hefty claims. Environmentally friendly, better fuel economy, higher rpms ect. ect. Anyone have experience with this oil?

I just started using it in my snowmobile, got tired of the foul smell of Amsoil, people riding behind me said it was burning their eyes after while. I switched and put about 3 tanks of gas thru my sled, there is little or no smell, and what you do smell smells kind of good. Performance ? I have not put enough miles to notice any difference yet. Price is about the same as the high end synthetics. There are 2 dealers in the twin cities area. I talked to the distributor and looked at some of the snowmobile web sites where it is popular and there are nothing but good things said about it.

It's a bean oil, Problem for me is that the guy that brought us enron is funding his son in this venture. They make lofty claims and it no doubt may be a decent oil but Enron taught me a lesson and I won't back their latest venture.

[Anybody]

Anyone else tried this oil ?

Blue marble? or Blue Marvel?
"Blue Marvel mystery oil"?
If that is what you mean, my gramps was sold on it. (He had a 49 Ford when he died).

I ran Blue marble all last season from April to October and it
performed great. I won't go back to anything else.

My brother is a serious gear head - cars/bikes and snowmobiles
but, not boats. He uses it in his Hi-perf snowmobiles and dirt bikes.
He knows a few 'southern boys' and they run it in their 'only thing in the water is the Prop' Bass boats and loved the oil.
Good enough for their XB's and Modded motors. Why not for my little Wally/Musky boat!!

First- a little background on my motor.
I run a 1986 Mariner inline 4 cylinder carburated piston ported two stroke.No nice clean reeds to smooth low end, idle and prevent
-spit back- or increase fuel economy. Recommended operating RPM of 5000-5500 and a Cabelas SS 17p prop.
I do my own winterizing/fogging and pre-season prep. Run the motor
with my old plugs to blow out the fogging gunk and to get the fresh
gas through the fuel system and put new plugs in.

The oil improved every aspect of my OLD motor.

-It smoked about 1/3rd less at idle and cold/warm start up and
nearly none above 2000 RPM
-Starts easier, cold or warm.
-Throttle response improved, especially at low speeds and to plane.
-Smoother low speed/idle operation, allowing me reduce my idle RPM
for slower trolling speeds. And less impact when putting into gear.
-Gained approx. 200rpm at WOT. I can over rev at will to 5800 RPM
tickling the trim = speed
-Improved fuel economy, not huge but, it saves me a few bucks at
the pumps.
-Faster. To plane, to top end and higher top end. Not a lot
but, you can feel it.
-Cleans the crap/gunk and carbon build up out of your motor.
I replaced my plugs three times last season from the cleaning
action and clean running of the oil. The third set are pristine.
-I use less oil.
-BIO-DEGRADABLE, for an ol' horse like mine less crap in the water
the better I feel.
-It's about the same price is most of the other synthetics.


In all areas the oil improved my engines performance-and probably
it's longevity.

The more I ran it the better my motor ran.

All I can say it has helped my motor, maybe the benefits will
be not as noticeble on newer modern motors but, for an older
engine I think it gets them running about as good as they can.

Thanks everyone.

I used Blue Marble in my last boat (bass boat) for one year. It was a Skeeter ZX202 with a Yamaha 225 EFI. The Yamaha is notorious for fouling Oxygen sensors with bad oil so I wanted to try it. I broke the Blue Marble in per instructions. While I did notice a slight gain in RPM's during the most humid parts of the year, and a decrease in smoke over the Yamalube stuff, I switched to Penzoil synthetic(from Wally World). The penzoil smoked less than the blue marble, and I still did not get the black deposits on the inside of the prop hub. If your boat is under warranty, Blue Marble does not have TCW3(or didn't a year ago) certification which is usually a requirement for warranty coverage. It probably performs better than most TCW3 stuff, but it doesn't have that certification which may or may not hinder warranty coverage. My end result was that i couldn't justify the costs. The results might be more dramatic in a carbed outboard or smaller HP one. Just my two cents.
