Draining 2 stroke oil - mercury instead of quicksilver

[02PSU]

Hi All,
What’s the best way to drain my two stroke oil on my 2001 speedster 240 efi? I put some of the mercury premium plus synthetic blend two stroke oil in (in the black bottle, picture attached), and noticed that it’s been smoking more than the quicksilver normally does - is that possible or am I crazy? Anyways I want to drain the tank to be sure..
Thanks,
Thomas

On the merc... it's easy. Drain out the tank on the engine, and just remove, and pour out the main tank. (unthread the caps, and remove the rubber strap)

I've flushed a bunch of 2-stroke tanks over the years... so it's a reasonable thing to do. Fortunately... with TC-w3 oils... they are relatively compatible, so it doesn't need to be squeaky clean. Just drain and refill.

FYI. Quicksilver and Mercury oil are exactly the same.

Dr Honda. Would you recommend synthetic blend merc oil or non synthetic in a 03 240 dri
