The cost-per-litre advantage over the 4L bottle adds up quickly if you’re running a high-hour OptiMax season. The key thing to nail before ordering: confirm your engine’s reservoir calls for “OptiMax Oil” or “DFI Oil” — if it does, this is your product. If the reservoir or manual says Premium or TC-W3, that’s a different oil. Running standard TC-W3 in a DFI system can cause carbon buildup in the injection components over time, which is one of the more avoidable service headaches we see on these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563885625380,"sku":"858038KC1","price":191.28,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/84b0e2ad-29ff-40b6-84d4-140cba8210f6.png?v=1789442254","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-774","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
