What type of oil and brand do you use?

Yamalube oem specs

On any Yamaha marine item I have had now or in the past has always been yamalube. Now on my Yamaha Rhino I use Amsoil.

Mobil One. And I send it off to get analyzed by Blackstone labs. It's a cheap look into the internals of my engines.

This thread should be issued in a poll format... would be a good sticky down the road I think.

Sorry to get off topic, but how expensive is this?

Mobil 1 !!!!!!!!!!

What/why anything less ?

Ever see an oil derrick with "Yamaha" lettering on it ?

If Yammalube even began to have the same oil properies as Mobil 1 I might change my story.

Never - Ever ! - let facts get in the way of a GOOD STORY @@@@@

Belray this go around. Been using Yamalube till this go around. I don't remember if it's 10w30 or 10w40, but I liked the specs it had and it's developed for our type of high reving engines. It also doesn't hurt that it's easy for me to get.

I used Mobile 1 last year and will do it again next time. I can't remember the weight used, but it was 10w-something.

Amsoil...in everything.

25.00 for each engine but if you add TBN analysis that's another 10.00. the TBN number gives you the remaining protection factor in that oil. Telling you basically if it was still protecting your engine. If that number is low, then the oil doesn't have enough protection in it or you ran it too long. You really only have to do that once if you keep using that oil and changing at the same interval.

Go to http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ and request free sample bottles if you're interested.

I do the same.

Fact...full synthetic oils provide great protection when the engine is in service. Many boats spend more time out of service than in service. And yamalube is superior to full synthetic at preventing moisture and protecting your engine during the offseason, and it is also a blend that will protect in season. These are not automobiles, these engines are subjected to a marine environment as well as long months idle. Full synthetic offers great protections, but my money is with yamalube year round for the above reasons.

I use
Klotz SkiCraft X4 10W40
It is a synthetic designed for pwc 4 stroke motors.

Also remember you can pull the tether cord and turnover the engines(without spark and fuel) to pre-lube the motor.

I try to remember to do this if boat has been sitting more than a week.

I agree Mel. The Belray I'm using now is a full mineral oil and is designed high reving 4 stroke engines. It's got more then enough additives to cover all the bases and give me piece of mind for my engines.

What would you do if it came back not good ?
