The first four-stroke outboard motor was developed by the Japanese company Yamaha in the early 1990s. Yamaha's design aimed to create a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the two-stroke engines that dominated the market at the time. This innovation helped pave the way for the modern outboard motors used today, which focus on reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
Combustion piston engines can have two different work cycles, 2-stroke and 4-stroke. 2-stroke tends to have a better power to weight ratio, but pollute more. A 4-stroke outboard is simply an outboard engine that works the same way as a car engine.
The 4 stroke Yamaha outboard requires a quality SAE 10W-40 motor oil.

Mercury Marine began producing four-stroke outboard engines in the late 1990s. The company introduced its first four-stroke outboard, the Mercury 4-Stroke 15 HP, in 1999. Since then, Mercury has expanded its four-stroke lineup, focusing on performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental compliance.

With a 2 stroke engine, you mix the oil with the gas. With a 4 stroke engine, there are separate tanks for the oil, and the gas.
