7. Troubleshooting

While this product is straightforward to use, here are some common considerations:

• Engine Performance Issues: If experiencing poor engine performance after using this oil, first verify that the correct oil-to-fuel mixing ratio was used (for pre-mix engines) or that the oil injection system is functioning correctly. Ensure the oil is not contaminated.
• Smoke from Exhaust: Excessive smoke can indicate an incorrect oil-to-fuel ratio (too much oil) or an issue with the engine's combustion. Refer to your engine's manual for proper diagnosis.
• Oil Contamination: If the oil appears cloudy, discolored, or contains foreign particles, it may be contaminated. Do not use contaminated oil; dispose of it properly and use a fresh, sealed container.
• Storage Issues: If the oil has been stored improperly (e.g., in extreme temperatures or with the cap loose), its properties may degrade. It is recommended to use oil stored under optimal conditions.

For persistent issues, consult a qualified marine or small engine mechanic, or refer to your engine's specific service manual.
