I'm sick of buying oil. The last thing I need is to have to buy

You might feel sicker when you have to buy Yamaha's $25 oil filter for each
oil change. The manual recommends every 6 months or 100 hrs. WHICHEVER COMES
FIRST. It also says to change more often if you do a lot of low speed
running or trolling.

$50 twice a year? $100 for oil filters per year? Compared to 20 gallons of
E-Tec oil at $40/gallon, it's a no-brainer.
