Default Best oil for 2 stroke, carbed Johnson 115, 120 hours

Was curious as to what is the best oil to use with this engine, carbed, ....omc oil injection, just broken in at 120 hours.....I'm using it quite a bit now on a lake, last two oils were quicksilver and then johnson xd-30...I believe that was the non synthetic.....can you run xd-50 in this engine (carbed with vro type oil injection) or not?....I heard that oil had de-carbonizing agents in it.....any advice welcome.....thanks in advance.

Not sure about if the oil is OK, but good idea with preventive measures regarding de-carbonizing agents. In addition to what ever oil or additive you use, also run OMC's "Engine Tuner" at the recommended interval. The can comes with a tube that screws into a port on your intake manifold designed specifically for this purpose and injects the cleaner directly into the engine.
