Thanks for the tip, but with EFI, you don't even use regular oil, it
must be synthetic. This stuff ain't cheap! This year it was
$38.00/gallon. Every mechanic has told me NOT to use regular oil -
that it will damage the engine. The oil injectors are metal, not
plastic, btw. If any injector fails, there is a warning system that
lets you know. There is a computer similar to those on automobiles on
this engine. --


Yecch....no thanks. My local See Doo Doo dealer is a crook so it's not an
issue here. I'd never buy one of those awful direct injection two strokes
with all their history of failures.

You might be interested in a little bit of FEDERAL law I learned all about
when returning to that same crooked ******* my 1997 Yamaha GP1200
waverunner. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Protection Act has a clause in it
that says:

"(c) Prohibition on conditions for written or implied warranty; waiver by
Commission
No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied
warranty of such product on the consumer’s using, in connection with such
product, any article or service (other than article or service provided
without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by
brand, trade, or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this
subsection may be waived by the Commission if—

(1) the warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will
function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in
connection with the warranted product, and

(2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest."

15USC50 section 2302 (c)......current as of today.

If they tell you you MUST use their brand of some special oil, and the
Federal Trade Commission hasn't given them a waiver to weasle out of this
law, they Brunswick has to GIVE YOU THE OIL FREE for the life of the
product. It's Federal Law....

That's why Ford doesn't tell you you MUST use Motorcraft Oil to keep a Ford
warranty in force. The law was designed to prevent deception. If pressed
properly, you can probably get the ripoff $38/gallon oil FREE!

Of course, they'll all try the bully bull**** first....(c;
