What kind of oil do you use ??

[Marines511]

i run yamalube and ring free no complaints yet.

I ran Yamalube in my 2 strokes but found I liked both Pennzoil synthetic and Amsoil better.

I liked the Pennzoil,but it was kinda hard to find. I bought some Amsoil at Joes and I liked as well.

Both smoked less and the little smoke there was wasn't as nasty smelling as the Yamalube.

What does yamaha tell you to run in the manual?

If your warranty period expired?

If so, run whatever you want. If not, maybe the CYA effects of Yamaha products might be worth the price of admission.

i have been running yamalube in my 2002 225 hpdi but i don't like the odor

I run Yamalube....in my V250......no complaints other than I wiped out 3 sparkplugs a few weeks ago.

I really don't notice a foul smell like some of you ? Maybe my sniffer dosent sniff as good as yours.

I would like to know more about other oils....pros and cons.

Run any good grade oil, but more important run Ring Free along with it.

the reason i ask is the person i bought my boat from said that he used SUPER TECH MARINE the stuff they sell at Walmart in it he said somebody told him it was the same thing
and it came from the same plant as the YamaLube is there any way of finding info like this out??

You can go to the NMMA website and see who makes what oil. It doesn't look like the Super Tech comes from the same place Yamalube does.
