Oil Change time

[YamahaFreak]

About to do an oil change on my sled. What kind of oil is everyone using???

I was going to use Mobile 1 full Synthetic..

Not agiasnt using really good expensive oil either... ANY suggestions?

 

[snowracer1000]

Amsoil or lucus is all I run in the sleds. It is similar in cost to factory oil

 

[Nytro40th]

Amsoil for me. Ran it on my nytro now on my viper.

Redline 0-20 in my Apex for 7 years and never missed a beat. I will be using the same stuff in my Nytro when I do my first oil change.

What about good old 0-40 Yamalube full synthetic? Seems like the logical choice.

 

[snowracer1000]

This just my observation but yamalube always seemed dirtier when it came time to change it.

Or Cat 0-40 full synthetic kit for $ 18.00 less than Yamaha 0-30 semi synthetic kit, and should be the same oil.

May have found a cleaner/ better way to drian oil in the oil tank by exhaust.

Oil Extractor:

Those vacuum/pressure canisters are great for all kind of jobs. Every shop and home mechanic should have one. Fred

I couldnt agree anymore I use the extractor for so many different kinds of jobs lol.

I put in the Cat oil since my dealer didn't have a kit and the Cat dealer had one in stock.

I used the Mobil 1- 0-30w.... no issues.

So... Does the Cat kit have Cat oil or Yamalube?

Most likely same oil just rebranded, not even rebranded filter.
At any rate much better option than automotive oil.
