I just used Mobil Delvac synthetic 75-90, talked to guy at dealership and he said it would work just fine. Any good synthetic gear oil should work. What part of SE SK are you from?

Where do you get Yamalube synthetic chaincase oil? Nowhere on the bottle does it say synthetic.

I must have got it mixed up with the engine oil.

oil

I have been using Amsoil Chaincase oil for years now so that is what I put in at the first service.

SO Yamaha doesn't sell synthetic chain oil? The manual calls for synthetic chain oil. Odd
