http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/ap … etail.aspx This is what Yamaha suggests as their option, but their manuals etc leave it wide open and the description of this oil leads me to believe that its not made specifically for this engine so it probably is not any better than any other with a similar rating. The research continues for now.And yes, I hope to get a few pictures of the vessel this evening or tomorrow. Any time I have a few minutes to drag it out of the garage its been crappy weather… cant have that in the pictures!Last edited by PinnacleJohn on April 13th, 2012, 11:57 am, edited 4 times in total.
