Hey, I'm just confused enough to put Yamaha oil in my Yamaha. They
can't
say I did something bad then!

In fact, I'll probably let the Yamaha service man put Yamaha oil in my
Yamaha. Then everyone'll be happy!


What's he want, about $80/gallon, now? It used to be $30/gallon in 1997
when they tried to force me to use it in my Yamaha Waverunner jetski.

Just for reference, Yamaha 2-stroke oil was made by Chevron, who sells
the same oil with Chevron's label on it for about 35% of what a Yamaha
dealer wanted. I suspect Yamaha's 4-stroke superdooper oil is the same.
Yamaha doesn't have an oil refinery, either, like Amsoil.

A man just can't go wrong putting Rotella-T heavy duty oil in anything.
My Honda EU3000is 3KW 4-stoke gas generator must have 5000 hours on it
powering my work van. Cranks up on the same spark plug that's been in it
for years on the first tick over. It's never had anything but Rotella-T
in it, just like my diesel engines. My 4-stroke, 250cc Honda scooter
runs on Rotella-T, too.

Use what the truckers KNOW makes a truck last for a million
miles.....Rotella-T and Velo 500. Both available at any WalMart without
having to take out a loan....even today.

Question - Does NMMA, who manufacture and sell motors, want an outboard
to last forever on some super oil.....or do they want an outboard to last
until the end of the payment book so you can buy another one?

Don't answer too quick.....Think about it a while....Sleep on it.

Try this one - How many really old outboards do you see that run on
Quaker State SAE 30 motor oil mixed 15:1 on your lake? How many not-so-
old outboards do you see that run on NMMA TC-W3 mixed 50 or 100:1 on that
lake? Take a little poll next time you're out. There's those old blue
Evinrudes, all greasy and such....then there's new outboards back about
5-10 years with 100:1 oil injection. What happened to the thousands of
old oil injected 2-strokers using TC-W3 NMMA fancy oil at 100:1?? Sleep
on that, too.

Just an observation taken over years of cruising around wasting gas....
(c; Remember the Ficht?...(c; NMMA certified that one....???
